--- Quote from: Urban Prairie Schooner on September 15, 2023, 12:58:58 PM ---The September Iowa Transportation Commission meeting included an item "Transfer of Jurisdiction of Frontage/Access Roadways along Iowa 461 in Davenport". What specific roads are these, and are they being transferred to or from state control? I wish the detailed agendas were available on the website before the meetings.

I'm wondering if they're the frontage roads between 59th Street and 65th Street/Veterans Memorial Parkway. (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/41.5836/-90.5717). They were built around the time the one-ways south of 59th opened, in the spring of 1984.

Proof. This contains both old and new versions of the signs. Signs were replaced both on 61/151 and on 20. They did not replace all of the signs - particularly some of those around Grandview Ave (both on 20 and 61) along with the one leading to Kerper Blvd in Wisconsin - this is possible due to who maintains them (I would suspect IowaDOT maintains the Kerper one, but I can also assume for the Grandview Ave/61 interchange, these not-so-BGSs might be city installed. No activity has taken place since early August.

Nice photos. I'm surprised the Greyhound Park is still signed even though it closed last fall. (The casino linked to it is still open.)

Either that or the frontage roads along W. River Dr (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/41.50271/-90.63378). I think it's more likely the ones on Brady St, though. In either case, it's almost certainly a transfer from the state to the city.

And I found yesterday that they reinstalled the 65mph limit on 61 north to the SW Arterial (used to end at the old entrance to the airport for over a decade and a half)

That's definitely a recent change; it was posted for 55 as recently as July.
