Davenport, Iowa



For other higher education schools in the area, see Quad Cities Colleges and Universities.

Davenport public schools serve nearly 17,000 students in the communities of Davenport, Blue Grass, Buffalo, and Walcott. The Davenport Community School District is the second largest school district in Iowa.[82] Davenport has three public high schools: Central, West, and North and one private high school: Assumption. There are six public intermediate schools and twenty-three public elementary schools.[83] One of the intermediate schools, Sudlow was named after Phebe Sudlow, the first female public school superintendent in the United States.[84] She was superintendent for Davenport schools from 1874–1878.[84] The high schools are part of the Mississippi Athletic Conference for sports. The city has four colleges and universities: Palmer Chiropractic College, which is the first chiropractic school in the world,[85] Saint Ambrose University, Kaplan University, and Hamilton Technical College. Marycrest International University was a university in Davenport from 1939 to 2002, when it closed and became senior citizen housing.

Infrastructure

Transportation

Three interstate highways serve Davenport: Interstate 80, Interstate 280, and Interstate 74. U.S. Route 6, U.S. Route 61, and U.S. Route 67 also go through Davenport; U.S. 67 crosses over to Illinois via the Rock Island Centennial Bridge. Davenport is connected to the Illinois side of the Quad Cities by a total of three bridges across the Mississippi River. The Government Bridge and the Centennial Bridge connect Downtown Davenport with the Rock Island Arsenal and downtown Rock Island, respectively. The I-280 Bridge connects the western edge of Davenport with the western edge of Rock Island.

Other highways include Iowa Highway 22, which is on the city's southwest side, and Iowa Highway 130, which runs along Northwest Boulevard on Davenport's north edge. For air travel, Davenport Municipal Airport – located adjacent to the city's northern city limits – serves smaller aircraft.

The Quad City International Airport across the river in Moline, Illinois, is the closest commercial airport. Major railroads include the Iowa Interstate Railroad and the Iowa, Chicago and Eastern. Two national U.S. recreation trails intersect in Davenport: the Mississippi River Trail and the American Discovery Trail.

Amtrak currently does not serve Davenport or the Quad Cities. The closest station is about 50 miles (80 km) away in Galesburg, Illinois. In 2008, the two current United States Senators from Iowa, Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, and former Senator Barack Obama sent a letter to Amtrak asking them to begin plans to bring rail service to the Quad Cities.[86] They hope to see passenger rail service up and running in two years from Iowa City to the Quad Cities and from the Quad Cities to Chicago.[86] Greyhound Lines/Burlington Trailways bus service has a station in Davenport. The building is shared with the local Davenport Citibus.[87] Davenport does not have any river ports.

Davenport has an infamous "truck-eating bridge".[88] The bridge, or rather three bridges, is a set of railroad bridges that cross over north and southbound U.S. Route 61 and another street. Evey year an average of twelve semi trucks hit the bridge, usually causing massive damage to the trucks.[88] The bridges, made out of iron, steel, and concrete, are rarely damaged.[88]

Davenport Citibus

Main article: Davenport Citibus

Public transit appeared in Davenport in 1969 when the city created a City Transit Authority.[87] The authority at first provided monetary support to Davenport City Lines Bus Company, which was a privately owned company. After a few years the city purchased the Davenport City Lines and placed the operation of public transportation under the jurisdiction of the City's Department of Municipal Transportation. Today, CitiBus is a division of the Department of Public Works. CitiBus has a total of 20 vehicles and covers approximately 30 square miles (78 km2) of the city. CitiBus connects with both Bettendorf Transit and the Illinois Quad Cities mass transit system, MetroLINK.[87] In 2007 Citibus saw a ridership of 1,022,815 customers. Ridership as of September 2008 had grown to 1,045,000 due in part to high gas prices.[89]

Utilities and health care

Genesis West Hospital is one of the two hospitals in Davenport. The other hospital is Genesis East.

Electricity to Davenport, and the rest of the Iowa Quad Cities, is provided by MidAmerican Energy Company. Water is provided by the Mississippi River and is treated by the Iowa American Water Company. The water treatment facility is located in southeast Davenport. The contaminants in the water are far below government standards.[90]

Davenport is served by two hospitals: Genesis East and Genesis West part of the Genesis Health System. Together the facilities, along with two other facilities outside Davenport have 665 beds.[91] The hospitals employ more than 600 physicians and 5,000 staff members.[91] The American Nurses Credentialing Center, awarded Genesis Medical Center the Magnet designation for excellence in nursing services.[92] Fewer than three percent of hospitals receive this honor.[92]

Notable natives

Notable Davenporters include jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke,[93] after whom the Bix 7 road race and jazz festival are named. The artist Isabel Bloom was raised in Davenport;[94] she is the creator of decorative concrete figurines that bear her name. Other natives include the aviation pioneer Samuel Cody[95] and actress Lara Flynn Boyle.[96] Sports figures born in Davenport include NFL running back Roger Craig[97] and former middleweight boxing champion Michael Nunn.[98]

Livability Award

Davenport (along with neighboring Rock Island, Illinois), won the 2007 City Livability Award in the small-city category from the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Tom Cochran, Executive Director of the Conference, stated that the award "gives the Conference a chance to highlight mayoral leadership in making urban areas safer, cleaner and more livable."[99] The award acknowledges achievements from the RiverVision plan of Davenport and Rock Island; "RiverVision is a bi-state collaboration between Davenport and Rock Island to transform the Mississippi River’s edge into one of the most compelling waterfronts in the nation."[100]
