Iowa House considers bill to block diagonal highway plan
Des Moines lawmakers push to halt a proposed diagonal road system from Des Moines to Marshalltown and across Iowa. Rep. Dox McLean and Rep. Ben Dewey say the plan would cost 30 to 40 million dollars, require 600 to 800 miles of paving, and burden rival communities with taxes. The measure seeks to prevent the Iowa Highway Commission from advancing the scheme and to curb Des Moines dominance.
