Traffic tops discussion at Medical District event
No upheaval at a Cedar Rapids meeting where residents learned about the Medical District plans. A $36 million building would require closing Second Avenue SE between 10th and 12th streets SE, drawing a brief protest from one attendee. Jason Hellendrung of Sasaki Associates outlined job growth, economic benefits, and tax-base improvements while urging residents to consult Anderson-Bogert Engineering for the traffic study results.

Traffic flow concerns cast doubt on Second Avenue closing
City engineers Jeff Morrow says Second and Third avenues SE now carry under 40 percent of old downtown traffic. First Avenue East operates at about 70 percent capacity from pre Interchange 380 era. Local business owners, Laundromat operator Scott Wallace and supporters urge caution, while critic Bob Allsop backs the plan to unite medical services. An open house with Mayo Clinic scale comparisons is set at the Crowne Plaza.

Cedar Rapids eyes rescue plan for flood damaged Czech Village homes
Developer groups push to renovate flood damaged houses beside Czech Village in Cedar Rapids amid questions over flood plain rules. City officials say federal buyout funds rarely allow reinvestment in the 100 year flood plain, though an 8 step process could permit exceptions. Historic status and potential moves or demolition complicate any plan to use public money for renovations.
