Fight Des Moines blog on proposed diagonal highways
A Des Moines policy clash centers on a bill to curb diagonal highways, requiring 75 percent landholder consent and a railroad hearing before any new road or relocation. Rep McLean predicts a Senate fight and possible veto by Gov. Herring, with amendments to limit diagonal routes from large cities. Proponents push for more rural road aid amid Beatty Bennett tax cuts and underfunded secondary roads.
