Iowa Living Roadways Program presents feasibility study

First project of the plan to include tree additions to Rolling Prairie Trail
     The Hampton Visioning Committee was presented a comprehensive feasibility analysis, as part of its final stage of the Iowa’s Living Roadways program.
     The city of Hampton is one of 10 communities selected to participate in the 2016 round of applications. Sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation, with the assistance of the Iowa State University Landscape Architectural Extension and the non-profit Trees Forever organization, the program provides professional planning and design assistance along transportation corridors to small Iowan communities with less than 10,000 residents.
     The 115-page analysis is one of the largest compiled, said Landscape Architect for Jeffrey L. Bruce & Company Eric Doll, and includes a list of all improvements and additions that the steering committee plotted as possibilities. The plan also includes results from surveys about community needs and wants, as well as detailed explanations of what improvements can be made along the roadways, within the city.
