Part of stimulus money will go to Amtrack stations

March 28, 2009 By admin

A portion of Iowa’s federal stimulus money will be used to increase accessibility for disabled persons at Amtrak stations. Governor Culver’s office announced Friday that Iowa’s six railroad stations that serve Amtrak passenger trains will receive just over $402,000 to bring them in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The improvements will include new sidewalks and curb cuts, markings and signs for handicap accessible parking and new wheelchair lifts. Iowa’s Amtrak stations are located in Burlington, Creston, Fort Madison, Mount Pleasant, Osceola and Ottumwa.
