Around The Town Traffic Route Proposed by Kasbeer
R J Halpin, ex city engineer now with Kent Feeds, presented an elliptical around the town connector from highway 22 east of Weed Park to Stewart road in the Island Pits region to current and new city council members Tuesday night. The tentative plan aims to relieve inner cross town routes and may replace the Leroy street connector, aligning with the new comprehensive city plan by Stanley Engineering. Muscatine employs about 2,000 workers commuting daily to Muscatine Island including parts of the lower Fourth ward.
