This CMP is a guidebook that explains how to implement the publicly derived goals of the Iowa
Valley Scenic Byway. Use of the CMP recommendations will enhance residents’ and business
people’s quality of life, while making the visitor experience safer and more enjoyable. This CMP
is a document in flux, with its goals meant for alteration as local needs and priorities change.
As such, this plan should be updated as needed, with a thorough revision undertaken in
approximately a decade.

The approach taken toward implementing projects in this plan will vary according to community
enthusiasm, funding availability, project type, and local priority level.
This printed document is Volume I of the Iowa Valley Scenic Byway (IVSB) Corridor
Management Plan. Within it are the 14 Federal Points required for National Scenic Byway
designation. The 14 points include maps (Point 1, but also found throughout the document);
intrinsic quality assessment and plans for the intrinsic quality resources (2 –3); an explanation
of who is responsible for implementing recommendations in this CMP (4); plans for
public participation (6); safe commerce (8); intrusion minimization (9); signage
(11); marketing (12); and interpretation (14); and discussions of development
enhancement (5); road safety (7); outdoor advertising (10); and design
standards (13). Volume II is available on CD, and includes
supporting information in appendix format.

The CMP’s heart is its management strategies,
meant to guide the Byway’s development
and interpretation while preserving
and enhancing its important
resources and the needs
of local residents
and business
