Summary
The Cedar County Board approved a resolution to seek Traffic Safety Improvement Program funds for the F58 (Highway 927) safety project, agreed to commit local farm-to-market matching funds if needed, and approved the Iowa DOT funding agreement; the county also approved an Alliant Energy utility permit and tabled a Highway 30 preconstruction agreement.
Cedar County supervisors on March 24 approved a resolution to request Traffic Safety Improvement Program (TSIP) funds to support a safety upgrade on F58 (Highway 927) and authorized the chairperson to sign related agreements with the Iowa Department of Transportation.
The resolution authorizes the county to seek TSIP funds for project FM-TSF-C016(125)-5B-16, commits farm-to-market funds as a potential local match, and obligates the county to operate and maintain the project after completion and to obtain approvals from the Iowa DOT and FHWA before changing right-of-way use. The Board voted to approve the resolution and separately approved the Iowa DOT Traffic Safety Improvement Funding Agreement for work on F58; recorded votes were "Ayes: All" with Supervisor Bixler absent.
County Engineer Fangmann briefed the Board on the 2026 granular resurfacing program during the session. The Board also approved a utility permit for Alliant Energy on 290th Street (permit fee $100) and agreed to table the preconstruction agreement for Highway 30 until the next meeting to allow further review.
The items advance planned roadwork and safety upgrades but do not yet authorize construction; state-level agreements and any required federal approvals remain prerequisites to project start.
