What exactly is the positive for downtown? The majority of Davenport residents did not want it.
Completely wrong. The only ones who dont want it are the ones who just use downtown as a thru-way. Literally zero good reasons in favor of keeping the one ways
Davenport has many, many city streets in dire need of repair. The money for conversion to two-ways would be better spent on much needed road repair.
Long story, but the city has hired 3 different consultants over the past 25 years - all of whom determined the conversion would calm traffic, improve business and improve livability in the central business district.

3rd and 4th were already scheduled for resurfacing in 2023. That is why this project was proposed and needed to be decided before the end of the year. It’s around $1 million extra on a $10 million-plus project that was already scheduled; which makes it very fiscally smart.
They could not do this common sense project and you'll still be saying the same thing about davenport roads every year for the rest of your life
You should probably head to the next city council meeting and propose signs that can be sunk into all nearby water ways with this new information on them.
The next goal is to make Brady/Harrison two-way from downtown up to Locust. Would still be a one-way from Locust->53rd
I'm old enough to remember when Brady and Harrison were two-way streets.Long overdue. Hopefully Brady and Harrison is next
Downtown two-ways a done deal
A debate that went on for years in Davenport came to an end Wednesday night. City council voted to approve changing 3rd and 4th streets downtown into two-ways. Council members split down the middle…
Harrison and Brady as one ways make much more sense than 3rd and 4th. For one thing, they are a US Highway route (River Drive is that for the east-west thoroughfare).
