The City of Camanche applied for a Traffic Safety Improvement Program grant for a proposed roundabout to be located at 7th Avenue and Highway 67.  The city applied for $500,000 of the estimated $896,000 cost of the project and was awarded the entire possible $500,000.  

The next step is for the City to apply for a Urban-State Transportaiton Engineering Program (USTEP) grant., which will fund 55% of a request up to $200,000.  If awarded that full amount, the City would seek additional funding assistance for the remaining estimated $196,000.

The City has created an FAQ on roundabouts, and specifically for the proposed location in Camanche.  Please find the button below to visit that page.

The awarded grant funding is only available for a roundabout at this location.
