E-bike Safety Campaign
Davenport is launching an e-bike safety campaign, so expect safety messages around town if you ride or share the road. The source doesn’t detail rules, penalties, or costs—just a public-information push aimed at safer riding.
Rockingham Road resurfacing
Rockingham Road from Highway 61 to South Fairmount Street will be resurfaced under a $974,997.58 contract with Manatt's, Inc., pending Iowa DOT sign-off.
Rockingham Road construction progress
Ward 1's alderman got an update: Rockingham from Elmwood to Farragut reopens to two-way travel, with a few more weeks of intersection work; the flood mitigation segment from Fairmount to Highway 61 has westbound lanes open.
Public Transit Survey
Davenport and other Quad Cities communities want your input on public transit through a new survey. It’s a quick way to influence bus routes and service in your area—so if you ride, drive, or just care about getting around, it’s worth a few minutes.
Road Conversion
Davenport is preparing to convert 3rd Street, and the city says that could shake up how you drive or park there. Details aren’t out yet, so the big question is whether your usual commute or parking spot will change.
Public Transit App Upgrade
Davenport’s CitiBus app now shows real-time bus tracking, so you can stop guessing when your ride will show up. It’s a small but useful upgrade for anyone who relies on transit or wants fewer waits at the stop.
