After putting up chain link fences on all four corners of Iowa City’s Park Road Bridge to deter trespassing on its arches, the city is working on a permanent solution.
The bridge, which opened in 2018, became infamous after a YouTube video showing a skateboarder hurtling down one of the arches to the delight of onlookers. YouTube took the video down and city officials warned that stunts like that could end in a fatality.
The fences, while functional, were an eyesore.
The Gazette reports that the design consultant for the $40 million Gateway Project that raised Dubuque Street and included the new bridge came up with a more aesthetic fix, which includes concrete planter boxes and ornamental handrails that match the ones already installed on the bridge.

When Iowa City was platted in 1839, it is likely that not much consideration was given to parking, mostly because cars did not yet exist.
Even as automobiles became quintessential components of the American way of life by the 1920s, it appears that off-street parking lots were still rarities in central Iowa City well into the 1950s. Indeed, a survey of the historical significance of downtown from 2018 notes that the first off-street municipal parking lot in town was not built until “1948 at 317-325 E. College Street, adjacent to the Public Library,” and that “a large, two-story frame apartment building … was razed” to make way for the lot.
