| 5/23/2024 | Jefferson Highway Heritage Bywayto Host Public Meetings The Jefferson Highway Heritage Byway Advisory Board is hosting public input meetings along its historic route in Iowa asking residents to share their thoughts on important assets and points of interest. From that input a Corridor Management Plan (CMP) will be developed. This important meeting will be held Wednesday, May 23rd from 4:00-5:00pm at the Indianola Activity Center (2204 West 2nd Ave). The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) included the Jefferson Highway in their Scenic Byway program in 2018 and signs marking the route were installed in 2019. As part of the IDOT program, a Corridor Management Plan (CMP) is required to sustain this coveted DOT designation. Development of this plan requires public input from residents in communities where the highway travels. This meeting will include a brief history of the Jefferson Highway and the Byway program before participants are asked to share their thoughts on important assets along the byway and within ten miles of the byway. The Jefferson Highway travels through Worth, Cerro Gordo, Franklin, Hardin, Story, Polk, Warren, Clark, and Decatur counties in Iowa, and roughly following Highways 65 and 69. About the Jefferson Highway Heritage Byway: The Jefferson Highway Heritage Byway has been a part of the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Scenic Byway Program since 2018. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defines what is a byway as a route that has a high level of one or more intrinsic quality- Archaeology, Cultural, Historic, Natural, Recreational, or Scenic. The Jefferson Highway identifies as “Historic”, thus its name includes the word “Heritage.” For more information about the Jefferson Highway Heritage Byway and the Byway program go to: https://iowadot.gov/iowasbyways or https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep/scenic_byways/designations/ more info... |
