Future Expansion
Currently, plans are under consideration to extend Iowa Highway 100 from Edgewood Road NW to the south and west to have it meet with U.S. Route 30 / U.S. Route 218 in western Linn County. This would provide a four lane bypass around the entire city. The proposed expansion has proven to be controversial, with the Linn County Conservation Board worried about environmental impact such an expansion would have on the area - especially the Rock Island Forest Preserve. As a result it is now believed that such an expansion would not be open before 2016.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or expansion:
“If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
The future might stop emerging out of the past,
Out of what is full of us; yet the search
And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
