Commuter Loop

April 2, 2021

The project included the first phase of the overall “Commuter Loop” project, a project that realigns Grant Street S between Highway 65 and 32nd Street and a piece of infrastructure critical to regional transportation enhancement in support of the massive job growth Bondurant has experienced recently. The $8.5 million Commuter Loop project will serve as a regional corridor between Altoona and Bondurant, providing easy access to State Highway 65 and expanding access points to the Amazon distribution facility located off 32nd Street SW, which currently employs 1,600 people. The Commuter Loop will also enhance traffic safety as it redesigns a problematic intersection at Grant Street S./Highway 65. Further, it will help decongest or prevent congestion of traffic in the area brought on by recent economic development, and establish infrastructure critical to future economic development.

The Commuter Loop project provides access to “Central Park”. Central Park is anticipated to have amenities that create a regional draw.

Finally, the Commuter Loop project connects the trail between Bondurant and Altoona that is a missing link of the regional trail system.

The realignment of Grant Street S is a priority identified in the 2012 Comprehensive Plan and in the Capital Improvement Plan adopted by the City Council. This project remains in the conceptual planning stages. The agreement with the SmithGroup for planning the Central Regional Stormwater or Central Park Master Plan is the next step in driving the final location for the Grant Street S alignment.
