North Liberty Tiffin and Coralville agree on roundabout construction plans

During the Johnson County Board of Supervisors work session on January 15, 2025, a significant discussion centered around a proposed 28E agreement involving the cities of North Liberty, Tiffin, and Coralville. The focus of this agreement is the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Gaspar Avenue and Forevergreen Road.

The proposed roundabout aims to improve traffic flow and enhance safety at this busy intersection, which has seen increasing congestion due to the growth in surrounding areas. By collaborating through the 28E agreement, the cities involved can share resources and responsibilities, streamlining the construction process and ensuring that the project meets the needs of all communities affected.

This initiative reflects a broader trend in Johnson County towards improving infrastructure to accommodate population growth and enhance transportation efficiency. As cities like North Liberty and Tiffin continue to expand, such projects are crucial for maintaining safe and effective roadways.

In addition to the roundabout discussion, the meeting included other topics, although they were not as prominently featured. The focus on the roundabout highlights the county's commitment to proactive planning and collaboration among neighboring municipalities.

As the Board of Supervisors moves forward with this agreement, the anticipated next steps will involve finalizing the details of the construction plan and securing funding. The successful implementation of this project could serve as a model for future collaborations aimed at addressing infrastructure challenges in the region.
