Residents clash over a surface design from Cedar River east to Thirtieth, using Second and Third avenues. Critics fear property loss and zoning changes between Second and Third streets, while supporters worry about traffic and cost. Consultants show 81 million dollar best option and nearly double that for the worst, with public input to be recorded for final highway commission action.
