Adequate buffering (trees, plants and berms) will also be added around all new parking lots and buildings. The University would also like to add a new monument sign at the corner of Lombard and Gaines Streets.

Traffic Impact Study A Traffic Study is not required by the City of Davenport Traffic Engineer. Locust Street, east of Brady Street, has automobile traffic of 19,100 vehicles on a daily basis. West of Brady Street the number is 17,200. Harrison Street, north of Locust Street, has automobile traffic of 19,300 vehicles on a daily basis, and 11,900 vehicles south of Locust Street on a daily basis.
