Abstract

The purpose of Iowa's highway system is to serve the public's traveling needs in the safest and most convenient way possible. Each community with its highway project is reviewed for its transportation objectives and the project developed accordingly. In Anita, Iowa 148 and Iowa 83 meet at Main Street in the downtown business section. Before the Interstate System, U.S. 6 passed through Anita extending from the west to east coasts. This report has been written to determine some of the transportation needs in Anita and to describe the possible approaches toward meeting those needs. The socio-economic effects of the highway improvement are set forth and the anticipated environmental impact is described. The report will provide the background information for further development of this project. This report will also serve as the basis for a corridor public hearing on this highway project. This hearing will be held to inform interested parties of the status of the proposed project and to solicit public views regarding the improvement of Iowa 148. A formal location decision will be made by the Iowa State Highway Commission after the public hearing.
