Albia City Council on Feb. 20 approved a temporary traffic routing plan intended to keep students and drivers safe during construction on the South Clinton Bridge. The plan, presented by Billy Strickler of Albia Community Schools, calls for traffic to run one way south on South A Street and then north on South Clinton while the bridge project is underway.
The council discussed the proposed route and voted to approve it (motion by Dennis Conley; second by Brandon Williams). The vote carried 6-0. The council did not attach additional conditions in the motion recorded in the minutes.
School representatives raised the route as a safety measure for students and drivers; city staff did not register objections during the discussion recorded in the minutes. The council approved several other agenda items that evening, including payments related to ongoing construction projects and an ordinance amendment to the property maintenance code.
Next steps noted in the meeting minutes indicate the route will be implemented for the duration of the South Clinton Bridge project; the minutes do not specify start or end dates for the temporary routing or details about signage and enforcement.
