The Iowa and Illinois Departments of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are proposing improvements to the Interstate 74 (I-74) corridor in the Quad Cities from Avenue of the Cities (23rd Avenue) in Moline, Illinois, to 1 mile north of 53rd Street in Davenport, Iowa. The U.S. Coast Guard is a cooperating agency. The study corridor traverses the cities of Moline, Bettendorf, and Davenport and includes a crossing of the Mississippi River. Though I-74 is predominantly an east-west interstate, it is on a north-south alignment through the study corridor. As such, in this document direction of travel along I-74 is described as northbound or southbound to distinguish it from east-west traffic movement along cross roads. The I-74 study corridor is characterized by a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial development. Residential land use is present throughout the project corridor, but there are concentrations south of the commercial area in Moline and north of the commercial area in Bettendorf. Industrial land uses are mainly located along the river in Moline and Bettendorf. Parkland and open space can be found along the river in Moline and Bettendorf, and along Duck Creek in Bettendorf and Davenport. I-74 is the primary north-south roadway through the study area. As such, it carries a large amount of commuter and commercial traffic. The proposed improvements to I-74 include: Providing additional capacity on I-74; Improving the Mississippi River crossing; Improving the six existing service interchanges; Enhancing the connecting arterial roadway system; Improving opportunities for transit, bike and pedestrian, and intermodal connections.

The proposed action consists of construction of approximately 3.2 kilometers (2.0 miles) of four lane access-controlled divided highway crossing the Rock River, connecting the Milan Beltway in Milan to the John Deere Expressway in Moline and attempts to address public concerns related to the ice jam flooding and to traffic reduction through Black Hawk State Historic Site.

A multi-disciplinary approach to transportation planning fundamentals The Transportation Planning Handbook is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference that presents the fundamental concepts of transportation planning alongside proven techniques. This new fourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of all users, the role of safety in the planning process, and transportation planning in the context of societal concerns, including the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a new format that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approach to planning, design, and implementation, including guidance toward the latest tools and technology. The material has been updated to reflect the latest changes to major transportation resources such as the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADA accessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rational planning model of defining objectives, identifying problems, generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans. Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a more multi-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the rising importance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This book presents the fundamentals of transportation planning in a multidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference for day-to-day answers. Serve the needs of all users Incorporate safety into the planning process Examine the latest transportation planning software packages Get up to date on the latest standards, recommendations, and codes Developed by The Institute of Transportation Engineers, this book is the culmination of over seventy years of transportation planning solutions, fully updated to reflect the needs of a changing society. For a comprehensive guide with practical answers, The Transportation Planning Handbook is an essential reference.

This synthesis was prepared to report on the state of the practice and to identify effective public involvement using limited resources. Basic information is offered here for transportation agencies to further their efforts in this area. This synthesis provides information about staff and agency experiences in the application of effective and cost-effective strategies and implementation techniques used to engage the public in the development of transportation plans and projects, as well as strategies found to be ineffective. It captures respondents' definitions of successful, effective, and cost-effective public involvement and reveals a rudimentary state of the practice in the areas of costs and measures of effectiveness. Although there appeared to be no clear cut definitions of responsibilities or implementation strategies, similarities and differences were identified in four areas - organizational structure, staffing, cost quantification, and process. Detailed appendices provide abstracts of the literature reviewed and document survey questionnaire interview responses.
