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:
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
