On September 8, 2022, Clive City Council adopted the Clive 86th Street Neighborhoods Plan following a 2-year planning process. In the 100+ pages of the plan, there are a significant number of ideas and neighborhood improvements driven by or in response to the input received through the planning process. The plan provides a 20-year vision for the neighborhood, which includes a combination of public and private led improvements. Now that the plan has been adopted, the City has initiated work on implementation of some of the recommendations in the neighborhood plan. If you are interested in staying informed and involved during the implementation phase of the plan, please contact staff. We welcome your input at any time.
Clive’s Leisure Services Department is piloting a reuse of the former Dymond Public Safety Building, now known as the Harbach Center. Within the facility you will find the Harbach Public Library, a new branch of the Clive Public Library. The facility will also host new and familiar recreation programs and rental space. Programming will include set programs such as story times and after school activities, along with special events.
The Clive City Council discussed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Linnan Park design at their meeting on December 8, 2022. The RFP is expected to be released in early 2023, and includes a budget of $2.5 million for phase one Linnan Park improvements.
Construction activity for phase one of the Harbach Boulevard reconstruction began in April 2022 with gas main relocations by MidAmerican energy, and the street closure and construction related to the street paving began in late May 2022. The main street paving for phase one has been completed. Phase two reconstruction will be completed following the Linnan Park design to ensure the portion of Harbach Boulevard near the Harbach Center and Linnan Park are designed to best support the needs of the area.
City staff have continued to have discussions with property owners in the Flood Prone Property Buyout Area about voluntary acquisition of their property by the City. Since the 86th Street Neighborhoods Plan adoption, the City has acquired two additional properties for a total of 18 properties and over 10 acres of land in the Flood Prone Property Buyout Area acquired. City staff are also submitting grant applications for additional funds to support more acquisitions.
City staff submitted a Reconnecting Communities Program Pilot Grant application to support additional bike, pedestrian, and circulation planning and preliminary design. The grant applications are still under review and awards have not been announced.
The planning team sincerely thanks all of the community members and stakeholders who spent time engaging in the planning process and providing their input.
