Background 

The FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Iowa Department of Transportation and 

Polk County will prepare an EIS for the 

roadway improvements between IA 415/ 

NW 26th Street and Euclid Avenue/M.L. 

King Parkway in Des Moines. The 

proposed project would include an 

interchange with I–35/80 at NW 26th 

Street and also provide access to 

Morningstar Drive. 

The purpose of the NW 26th Street 

extension is to provide increased system 

continuity between Des Moines, 

Ankeny, and Polk City, by providing a 

continuous route between IA 5 and IA 

415 via NW 26th Street, M.L. King 

Parkway, and Fleur Drive. The proposed 

corridor improvements would relieve 

north-south traffic congestion on both 

Merle Hay Road and 2nd Avenue. The 

improvement of NW 26th Street would 

also provide direct access via IA 415 to 

the Saylorville/Big Creek Recreation 

Area, Polk City, and Ankeny. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include: (1) Taking no action; (2) 

widening existing roadways; (3) 

Transportation System Management/ 

Transportation Demand Management 

(TSM/TDM) strategies; and, (4) 

constructing a roadway on a new 

location. 

The build alternative will include 

consideration of various alignments and 

grades. Letters describing the proposed 

action and soliciting comments will be 

sent to appropriate Federal, State, and 

local agencies, and to private 

organizations and citizens who have 

previously expressed or are known to 

have interest in this proposal. A series 

of public meetings will be held in 2006 

and 2007. In addition, a public hearing 

will be held upon completion of the 

draft EIS. Public notice will be given of 

the time and place of the public 

meetings and public hearing. The draft 

EIS will be available for public and 

agency review and comment prior to the 

public hearing. 

A scoping meeting (the initial public 

meeting) will be held identifying 

significant issues to be addressed in the 

environmental impact statement. The 

date and location of the scoping meeting 

have not yet been determined but will 

be advertised in various local media. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues are 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA or Iowa
