Davenport In Motion - Transportation Master Plan
Department Services
The City of Davenport has set the development of a balanced, sustainable, multi-modal Transportation Master Plan as a high-priority, short-term goal. This plan, to be called Davenport in Motion, will be the vehicle for implementing the policies of Davenport 2025, which calls for a transportation system that is multi-modal, interconnected and supportive of a pedestrian-friendly urban community where residents can access daily needs and activities by foot, bike or transit. Beyond the utilitarian, the City envisions a local transportation system that enhances the character and appeal of the City, and helps to define it as a place. Davenport in Motion will provide a ten-year transportation action plan that prioritizes short- and long-term actions for the City to reach these goals. The process of developing the Davenport in Motion plan and setting implementation priorities shall engage key stakeholders and the community, and seek to balance residential, commercial, downtown and regional interests. The community is served by roadways and waterways of regional and national significance, including three interstate highways, and four bridges over the Mississippi River. Residents are highly dependent on driving, but there is a desire to improve personal transportation options such as walking, bicycling, and transit, including a look at the viability of water taxis. Other concerns include a lack of connectivity among modes, traffic congestion, and a desire for traffic calming.
