Johnson County Twenty miles outside Iowa City, Sutliff Bridge has become a popular stop for bicyclists. Randy Howell, owner of Sutliff Bar & Grill, 5546 130th St. N.E. in Lisbon, said his business gets a fair amount of bicyclists from the Iowa City area, Solon, West Branch and Mount Vernon. The Sutliff Bridge is always a favorite rest stop on many rides including the popular Stiff Ride. We believe option 1 is the best option to encourage cycling while maintaining the same historic look and appearance of the original bridge. Please vote for Option 1. Thanks.
