It may sound like a cliché, but the city of Council Bluffs believes that if you build it, they will come.It’s the plan to rebuild West Broadway, the main strip through town.Broadway is actually Highway 6, so it’s maintained by the State of Iowa. There’s an agreement in the works that would give Council Bluffs control over Broadway. The state would pay the city nearly $10 million a year to care for it.With that money, Council Bluffs mayor Matt Walsh said the city plans to redo the road from the interstate to the viaduct.“To the taxpayer, the total cost is just going to be the maintenance, the snow removal on Broadway,” Walsh said.But residents will also get relief from street flooding.“We would put a full east, west sewer system so Broadway will drain quickly and those problems would be taken care of,” Walsh said.In the proposed deal with Iowa’s Department of Transportation, the city takes West Broadway off the state’s payroll and the state will pay Council Bluffs.“It needs to be done,” said resident Jared Osmers, who lives near Broadway.Residents said they’re ready for an upgrade.“Where we live down there, the roads are so bad that you have to dodge potholes,” Osmers said.Walsh said the city is acquiring land along Broadway, and about 30 acres are ready for redevelopment. Walsh said it’s for multifamily, service industry and small commercial development.Along with new sewers and storefronts, the plan also benefits those who like to cycle. Old train tracks along First Avenue will be turned into a new bike path.It's a pleasant picture painted for the area, that’s already starting to see the new light shine.“So this will be a consistent theme for street lighting,” Walsh said.He added that this is just the beginning.“In a very short time, we’re going to see a dramatic change in what West Broadway looks like in Council Bluffs,” Walsh said.Soon there will be an exit to Broadway off of Interstate 29, allowing more traffic in the area.Walsh expects to see some of the construction on Broadway start next spring.
