In 2008 Odebolt took part in the
Iowa’s Living Roadways Community Visioning
Program, sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation in
partnership with Iowa State University Extension Landscape
Architecture and Trees Forever. After the Visioning process was
completed, the Odebolt Betterment Committee was organized to
implement parts of the resulting plans.
Some of the areas that have been addressed in these
plans include enhancements to several areas on Highway 175 to improve
the view as travelers drive to Odebolt. Other plans address
the downtown area, the Monument Circle Park and trail system.
Below are a few examples of possible
landscaping and configuration of directional signs that were presented
during the "Visioning" process. Keep in mind
that these are conceptual designs and not all will be implemented!
