Davenport takes next step to prevent trucks from hitting low railroad bridge

By Brian Weckerly,

8 hours ago

The Davenport City Council voted to take the next step to prevent trucks from hitting a low railroad bridge in the Village of East Davenport.

The plan involves getting money from the State of Iowa. City council approved applying for a traffic safety improvement grant for $68,000 from the Iowa Department of Transportation. The money would be used to install an over-height warning system on Kirkwood Blvd. near Mound St. The system would alert drivers of tall trucks as they approach the railroad bridge to prevent them from slamming into it

City engineers say they don’t have the authority to make any changes to the bridge themselves.
Twenty cases of trucks hitting the bridge have been documented over the last five years.

5 Mistakes People Make When Buying Ground Beef

Learn about some of the mistakes people make when buying ground beef so that you don't repeat them yourself. 1. Buying Ground Beef Without Looking at the Fat Ratio. It is super important when you are buying any type of ground beef that you look at the fat ratio. Sure, you really could interchange any type of ground beef; however, the final results of your dish can vary a lot. If you make burgers using really lean ground beef, it is going to be hard for you to cook the burgers and have them still be juicy.

Leslie Patten hiked into a remote reach of northwest Wyoming’s Sunlight Basin in December to post a trail camera where she’d earlier seen wolf tracks.

When she hiked back to fetch her equipment on May 1, the citizen scientist and author was greeted by one of nature’s most primal noises: the howls of wolves.
