Updates and Advisories:1. As local residents and business owners impacted by the flood start the process of recovery, a new City of Iowa City web page has been developed to assist their efforts. Flood victims, volunteers, and donors can now go to www.icgov.org/recovery for updates, notices to evacuees, lists of available rental housing and locally certified contractors, advisories, and links to valuable support information. It is very new so information is being added daily. A link is on the home page of www.icgov.org.2.

Effective Monday morning, June 23, 2008, all Transit routes will return to their normal routes and schedules with the exception of the Manville Heights route. For passengers needing to go to/from the Peninsula Neighborhood/Forest View area, a shuttle bus will continue to operate. The “regular” Manville Heights bus will operate in- and out-bound between the downtown interchange and North Hospital/MERF and Veterans Hospital (turning around at Upper City Park). The Broadway and Crosspark Routes will continue their detour inbound and outbound using Court and Gilbert, rather than using Capitol Street. Please visit www.icgov.org/transit to find out more about bus routes and schedules or call 319-356-5151. Help relieve traffic congestion during the flood recovery by continuing to use Iowa City Transit.Recent Street Re-Openings (6/20/08): Iowa Cityo Highway 1 open through Iowa City o Highway 6 open from east city limits of Iowa City to Valley Avenue o Sturgis Drive openo Orchard Street openo Commercial Drive and Commercial Ct. openo Foster Road openo Butler Bridge on N.
