Our office will be closed on Wednesday, July 22nd due to all the festive activities on Main Street. We will be available by phone.

TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS FOR RAGBRAI DAY IN NEVADA, IA

On July 22, RAGBRAI will enter Nevada from the north on S-14/West 3rd Street coming to Lincoln Highway, where riders will head east on Lincoln Highway all the way through town, enroute to Colo.
Prior to going under the railroad bridge over S-14/West 3rd Street, the northbound lane of S-14 will be closed, and bike riders will be shifted into that northbound (east) lane of the highway. The southbound (west) lane of the highway will be utilized for traffic needing to come in and out of the Knoll Ridge area.
Volunteers will be working to help direct Knoll Ridge traffic, as it will be only one lane to go in and out of that neighborhood for much of the day.
How to get from north to south and south to north in Nevada on July 22:
The City will have volunteers at 2nd Street and 10th Street who will help vehicles get across the Lincoln Highway.
During the earlier hours of the day, the preferred and possibly quicker crossing will be 10th Street (prior to noon). During the later hours (after noon), the preferred and possibly quicker crossing will be 2nd Street. But both crossings will be manned throughout the busiest time of the day (approximately 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m.)
We expect increased traffic on 19th Street and South G Avenue as support vehicles come into town from about 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. to park at SCORE and as they depart from town in the afternoon. The high school parking lots may also be used for support vehicle overflow.

July 22 Street/Parking Closures:

*S-14/West 3rd Street from Lincoln Highway to T Avenue

*Lincoln Highway from S-14 to 19th Street (all the way through town)

*Sixth Street from the north side of J Avenue to N Avenue (will close by 6 a.m. for vendors to set up)

*K Avenue from 5th to 6th Street

*The WEST parking lot at SCORE (where RAGBRAI support vehicles will park)

Renters insurance is one of the smartest ways to protect yourself—because your landlord’s policy usually covers the building, not your belongings. Here are a few quick tips from your State Farm team:
✅ Check what’s covered
Make sure you understand coverage for personal property, liability, and additional living expenses if you’re displaced.
📦 Take a home inventory
Photos/videos of your belongings (and receipts if you have them) can help a lot if you ever need to file a claim.
💡 Review your coverage limits
Think about your electronics, furniture, clothing, and sports equipment—coverage should match your reality.
🧰 Consider add-ons
Depending on your situation, you may want extra coverage for items like jewelry, bicycles, or valuable collections.
🔄 Revisit your policy anytime you upgrade
New furniture, a new laptop, or moving to a new apartment—those changes can affect what you need.
