No Funds for Cedar Rapids Pedestrian Overpass
Linn County legislators failed to add 250000 for a Cedar Rapids pedestrian overpass on First Avenue East and 27th Street to a state transportation bill. The House passed the transportation appropriation of 147.5 million annually, 90 to 1, while city efforts to secure funds continue. Public officials note ongoing need despite the setback.
