SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Five entities that want another Interstate 29 exit to be built south of Sioux City are preparing to underwrite a nearly $400,000 study. The Sioux City Journal says the cities of Sioux City, Sergeant Bluff and Salix, along with Woodbury County and an arm of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, are backing the idea. The exit would serve Sioux City’s Southbridge Industrial Park and the county-proposed Liberty Industrial Park.
Plans to ask the Iowa Department of Transportation for the exit failed last year when local officials couldn’t agree on whether to ask the department to rebuild the Port Neal interchange or build another to the north. Sergeant Bluff Mayor Dale Petersen says a new interchange would make the area more accessible to businesses.
Officials with the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau and area law enforcement agencies are reminding motorists about the next Special Traffic Enforcement Program (sTEP).
Law enforcement agencies throughout the state will be out in force beginning tomorrow (Thursday, March 14th) through Sunday, March the 17th, looking for motorists who are violating traffic laws during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The theme is “Don’t Press Your luck. Buckle up day and night.”
The sTEP program consists of five high-visibility enforcement waves throughout the year, meant to get motorists to change their driving behavior by buckling up, slowing down, driving sober, and obeying all traffic laws, in order to reduce the number of vehicle crashes and save lives.
During last year’s St. Patricks weekend sTEP wave, there were more than 16,279 traffic violations reported by 234 law enforcement agencies that together, had more than 1,600 officers working the enforcement effort. After the St. Patrick’s weekend sTEP, law enforcement will be gearing up for the same effort May 20th through June 2nd…during the Memorial Day Holiday.
The Atlantic High School will host a public meeting tonight with regard to consolidation of the Exira-Elk Horn Kimballton School Districts. Atlantic School District Superintendent Dr. Michael Amstein announced during the district’s Board meeting in January, that Exira-EHK officials requested an “impartial setting” for the meeting, which takes place in the A-H-S Auditorium, beginning at 6-p.m. Also in attendance, will be representatives with the Green Hills and the Heartland Area Education Agencies.
No decision is expected tonight on the reorganization of the districts, but this will likely be one of the final steps in the process.
