City council liaison outlines Third Street resurfacing, Main Street Landing kickoff and bridge planning affecting Third Ward
Summary
Mary Ann McGinnis, the city council liaison to the library board, briefed trustees on local projects including a $9 million Third Street resurfacing, Main Street Landing kickoff April 3, an Evanescent Fields art installation in May and public meetings about the Centennial Bridge replacement on April 17.
Mary Ann McGinnis, the city council liaison who represents Davenport to the board, updated trustees on several city projects and community events during the March 18 meeting.
McGinnis said the Third Street resurfacing project — a roughly $9 million federal-aid project from Telegraph to Harrison — is starting at the end of the month; the work follows stormwater and water-line preparations by Iowa American and will be followed by a two-way conversion on Third Street. She said she is holding a ward meeting to share details with residents.
McGinnis also invited trustees to community events: Party in the Park dates beginning June 12 at Cork Hill and other neighborhood locations; the Main Street Landing riverfront redevelopment kickoff on April 3 at 1 p.m.; and a May opening of an Evanescent Fields public-art installation associated with the Figge Art Museum. She said Main Street Landing and the art installation received private fundraising and Destination Iowa or ARPA-style support.
McGinnis urged trustees and residents to attend a public meeting on April 17 at the Holiday Inn in Rock Island about the Centennial Bridge replacement, which will be led by Illinois Department of Transportation for the Illinois side; she emphasized public engagement because the bridge landing currently sits in a historic district.
She closed by reminding trustees of city events where the library has presence and encouraged trustees to attend the March 26 city council meeting when the board’s National Library Week proclamation will be presented.
