Eric Trimble probably has more at stake in the re-location of the Interstate 74 bridge than just about anybody. For one thing, the multiple businesses owned by his family are located in downtown Moline, so a bigger, safer bridge might benefit them.
But more importantly, Trimble has four family businesses in the path of the two bridge alternatives, meaning he might have to move them.
"I'm at this point assuming that these businesses are going to have to be re-located," said Trimble, president of Trimble, Incorporated. If it turns out that he doesn't have to move the businesses for a new bridge, "I can be pleasantly surprised." Those businesses are Trimble Funeral Home (established in 1874 and at its current location since 1932), Staack Florist (established in 1877, but occupying a facility built in 1990), Wilson House Stationers (in Moline's oldest house, built in 1858), and Trimble Funeral Planning (in the funeral home).
"I am not lusting to uproot and move established businesses," Trimble said. But he views the change as an opportunity for the businesses - to re-think what they do and how they do it - and important for the Quad Cities. Re-building the bridge "needs to be done," he said.
This summer, two major bridge projects in the Quad Cities are gaining momentum. Four years after a long-range transportation study outlined a three-pronged approach to facilitating better traffic flow across the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities, concepts for a new I-74 bridge are taking shape, and the long-promised toll-free Centennial Bridge is perhaps just months away.
Removing the 50-cent toll from the Centennial Bridge connecting the downtowns of Rock Island and Davenport has only one hoop to jump through before construction bids are sought, and if all goes as planned, the bridge could become toll-free this fall.
The Illinois and Iowa departments of transportation are in the middle of an environmental-impact study for a new I-74 bridge, and that report (due in early 2003) will evaluate not building a new bridge or using one of two possible corridors to the east of the current structure for a new bridge.
Not building a new bridge is not considered a viable alternative by any of the planning parties. An Interstate 74 project incorporating a new bridge is expected to cost $600 million and would include improvements from 23rd Avenue in Moline to the 53rd Street commercial corridor in Davenport.
The Centennial and I-74 projects will have a major impact on traffic patterns in the Quad Cities, affecting the downtown areas of Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, and Davenport. Traffic on the Centennial Bridge is expected to double over the next 10 years, and although some of that will come from current I-74 bridge traffic, a new, wider interstate river crossing will likely bring back drivers concerned about the safety of and congestion on the current structure. In addition, dozens of businesses will probably have to re-locate if a new bridge is built, and dozens more will be impacted by its construction.
Until now, said Bettendorf Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Scott Tunnicliff, the possibility of a new I-74 bridge hadn't hit riverfront business owners. "The certainty is only starting to permeate the area," he said.
And some business owners aren't happy with the way things are going - especially the assumption that a new I-74 bridge needs to happen or will happen. Vince Barrett, owner of Quad-City Career Counseling in downtown Bettendorf, thinks a new I-74 bridge is being shoved through, without consideration of alternatives. "Maybe they're not looking at everything," Barrett said. "There are a lot of things that are not being addressed," such as the goal of a new bridge and the impact of construction on existing businesses. In addition to businesses that will need to re-locate, he said, many businesses will suffer during construction that will probably last at least six years. In Bettendorf alone, he said, 50 businesses might need to be moved, and another 90 to 100 would be negatively affected because of road closures and people avoiding construction.
"It's Not a Given"
In 1998, a study by the Illinois and Iowa departments of transportation established three transportation priorities for the Quad Cities: an I-74 bridge that can handle more traffic, a toll-free Centennial Bridge, and a new bridge connecting Bettendorf with East Moline.
The last item on that list has yet to be addressed, but the other two are coasting along, although on different tracks. Tolls are expected to be removed from the Centennial Bridge this fall. Meanwhile, according to Bi-State Regional Commission Executive Director Denise Bulat, if the I-74 bridge project is finished by 2011, "we will have worked really hard. ... We'd be very lucky if we could get this completely done in 10 years."
A new I-74 bridge is still far from inevitable. "It's not a given," Bulat said. The draft environmental-impact study will include a preferred option, and then the Illinois and Iowa transportation departments will undertake a stage-two study to finalize findings and impacts. That should be finished by mid-2004. To date, $9 million in funding has been allocated to the project, said Cathy Cutler, field-services coordinator for the Iowa Department of Transportation.
The Federal Highway Administration will then make a decision on whether to move forward. "We still need the main chunk of money for the project," Bulat said. "All of this is predicated on continued federal funding. ... It's going to be a tough haul."
The Quad Cities should get a sense from Congress in about a year whether the new bridge will be a federal priority in the coming years. The current transportation bill is set to expire next September, and its replacement will likely outline federal transportation projects and their funding for the next three or six years.
Bulat sounded optimistic about federal funding. The Quad Cities area has presented a united front to its delegation since the 1998 study that a new I-74 bridge is the area's top transportation priority, and House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois has expressed support, she said.
And the need is acute, she argued. Both portions of the I-74 bridge were originally built as local river crossings - the northbound side in 1935 and the southbound side in 1959. The bridge became part of the Interstate system in 1974. "It never met Interstate standards," Bulat said. "They knew the bridges would have to be re-built."
According to the 1998 study, the I-74 bridge can handle 64,000 cars a day with only minor stop-and-go problems, although critics of the study put the number as low as 55,000 cars a day. At the time of the 1998 study, the bridge handled roughly 74,000 vehicles a day.
The bridge being out-of-compliance with federal standards carries no repercussions, but it could help the proposed bridge secure funding from the federal government, Bulat said.
Cutler said that even if there is no federal funding in the short run, portions of the project - such as new interchanges at 53rd Street in Davenport - can be undertaken with state or local money. No local or state money is currently set aside for that type of construction, however.
"What's the Ultimate Goal?"
In addition to selling Congress on the project, the states' departments of transportations are also going to need to convince the public, particularly business owners whose lives and livelihoods will be impacted by the project.
The displacement impact of either I-74 bridge option has not been calculated yet, Tunnicliff said. "We haven't done a headcount for either of these yet because they're not carved in stone," he said. (Once a preferred alternative is selected, its effect on businesses will be included in the impact study.) But "there is displacement for each concept," Tunnicliff said.
Property owners displaced by the project will be given fair-market value for their land and buildings, but companies whose businesses are hurt by construction will not be compensated, Cutler said. "It really is one of the prices you pay for having your business on a busy interstate," she said.
Cutler stressed that choosing a new bridge path to the east of the current bridge was in part a decision to ensure that traffic continues on I-74 even during construction. "There's not going to be a time when we aren't going to have traffic flowing on that corridor," she said.
But Barrett said that prolonged construction will lead many small businesses to close. "Most drivers avoid construction like the plague," he said. If he had a company that depended on drive-by traffic for customers, "my business would be pretty much nil," he said.
Barrett said that planners haven't adequately considered making minor adjustments to the current bridge that might alleviate current traffic and safety problems. "I think we can address the traffic problems on 74," he said. Approximately 20 percent of cars on the I-74 bridge are through traffic - vehicles that don't stop anywhere in the Quad Cities. Re-routing that traffic to I-80 or I-280 would significantly relieve congestion, he said.
In addition, an "intelligent traffic-management system" - such as traffic signals for on ramps or speed indicators - could improve traffic flow during peak hours.
Taking the toll of the Centennial Bridge will draw 5,000 cars a day off the interstate bridge, the 1998 study claimed, and the third leg of the long-range transportation plan - the bridge between eastern Bettendorf and East Moline - would siphon 2,000 more cars a day off the I-74 bridge. Those changes, combined with re-routing through traffic, would put the I-74 bridge below the level at which major problems occur.
But the bridge's capacity is only one of its problems, Cutler said. The bridge is "functionally obsolete," she said, particularly in terms of getting disabled cars or those involved in accidents off to the side. "The problem is inherent in the bridge and its design," she said. Planners looked at retrofitting the bridge and found it would cost nearly as much as building a new bridge, she said.
Barrett further asserts that a Bettendorf-East Moline bridge would provide a bigger economic boost to the Quad Cities than a new I-74 bridge, creating a new corridor for economic development on both sides of the river. Of a new I-74 bridge, he asked: "What's the ultimate goal? To get traffic through more quickly?"
Beyond that, the disruption of a third bridge to businesses would be smaller than a new I-74 bridge. Barrett questions why - at the least - the third-bridge project hasn't been put on a faster track than the I-74 bridge. Because it could connect U.S. routes 67 and 84, it might be eligible for federal money, he reasoned.
But I-74 bridge planners aren't looking at it that way. They see the third bridge as a locally undertaken project, not state or federal, and therefore one that would need to be paid for with local funds. "This is our project," Cutler said of the Iowa Department of Transportation. "The other project would be city-initiated."
While some business owners are working against the bridge project, others see it as filled with opportunity. Tunnicliff said forced re-location "moves people's energy toward re-development concepts."
Trimble and the Moline Kone plant - which could be forced to move under one of the bridge alternatives - are "approaching it from the standpoint that this is an opportunity," said Rick Anderson, president and CEO of Renew Moline, the not-for-profit development group focused on improving downtown Moline. Those businesses "recognize an improved I-74 as an advantage. We really want to see that link improve safety-wise."
Anderson noted that some people refuse to drive on the bridge because of safety concerns. And Bulat said the bridge's narrowness is a problem for some drivers. "It kind of freaks people out," she said.
Yet Anderson and Trimble acknowledge that there are a lot of questions associated with a new bridge - including how much money and when landowners would be paid for their property.
"I won't fight it," Trimble said he has promised. But he also needs assurances that city leaders will ensure that the bridge project won't be more disruptive to his businesses than necessary. "I need some time" to plan and re-locate, he said, "and I need some help."
Trimble said he's committed to staying in downtown Moline, but the re-location of businesses will be expensive, and he can't expect money for the purchase of the businesses' property until just a few months before construction begins. Trimble said he'll need assistance negotiating purchase price, and interim financing.
"We know it's coming," Anderson said. "We know there's going to be some property acquisition. They [business owners] are in a situation where they don't have a lot of facts in front of them."
A Toll-Free Centennial
The Centennial Bridge project is one that has a lot fewer question marks and dollar signs attached to it, and a time frame that's much shorter. But although it's smaller in scope, the project has the potential to bring more people to the downtowns of both Rock Island and Davenport.
A 1999 Illinois Department of Transportation count showed the Centennial Bridge with 15,200 cars a day, compared to 17,700 a day for the Government Bridge. Within 10 years of going toll-free, planners expect the Centennial to be carrying more than 30,000 cars a day.
"It could potentially allow for more traffic flow through the downtown areas," Bi-State's Bulat said.
The Centennial Bridge project is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $8 million to $9 million and will include work on both the bridge itself and the approaches on the Illinois and Iowa sides, said Rock Island City Engineer James Johnson.
Crews will remove the toll plaza and replace the deck. On the Illinois side, the project will include re-building the on ramp and adding a traffic signal at 16th Street and First Avenue, as well as adding a traffic signal on the off ramp to the expressway. In Iowa, the on ramp will stay largely the same, and the off ramp will include a left-turn lane onto Second Street. Drivers wanting to turn right to get to River Drive will then use Western Avenue instead of Gaines Street.
But before construction can begin, the plan needs to get the okay of the Illinois Department of Transportation. (It's already been approved by both Rock Island and Davenport and the Iowa Department of Transportation.) The plans should be going to the state this week, Johnson said, but he doesn't know how long the approval process will take. "They haven't made us any promises," he said.
Once approval is secured, the project will go out for bids. After a bid is accepted, the tolls can come off the bridge - but that assumes that the Centennial Bridge governing board has enough money to cover the cost of the project. Right now, the bridge's bank account has a little more than $13 million collected from tolls, according to Sue Nelson of the Centennial Bridge Commission. That means that unless cost estimates are wildly low, the toll will come off the bridge as soon as a bid is accepted. (If the accepted bid is higher than the amount of money in the bank account, then the 50-cent toll will remain on the bridge until enough cash is collected.)
Minor construction could begin this fall, but it's not expected to start in earnest until next spring. Johnson said the project should be completed by spring 2004. During construction, at least one lane of traffic will be open in each direction, Johnson said.
But the first step is making sure there's enough money in the bank; tolls won't be eliminated until it's certain there's enough money for project costs. "You can't be foolhardy," Bulat said.
