SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – The South Lakeport Street Corridor Study has several goals, one of which is to reduce congestion.

The Siouxland Interstate Metropolitan Planning Council (SIMPCO) and the City of Sioux City are working together on the South Lakeport Street Corridor Study.

The aim of the study is to identify methods to reduce traffic congestion and improve mobility and safety.

The study will cover the following sections of South Lakeport Street and Sergeant Road:

• South Lakeport Street from Morningside Avenue to Singing Hills Boulevard
• Sergeant Road, from South Lakeport Street to Southern Hills Drive
• Intersection of Sergeant Road and Best Buy Access Road
• Intersection of Sergeant Road and Houlihan Run

Stretches along the South Lakeport Street and Sergeant Road corridors see more than 20,000 vehicles per day, a number expected to increase in the coming years.

Planning to improve the travel experience is underway and public input is being sought through an online survey.

The public can identify current transportation challenges and the situations they experience along the corridor most of the time. The study intends to focus on average travel times and not those of peak seasons.

The survey can be viewed on this site as well as a link to sign up for email updates, including information about the study’s recommendations and benefits.

The investigation will remain open until Tuesday, November 26.

Project organizers hope to receive responses from diverse voices so that the project can provide benefits to walkers, cyclists and drivers.
