Marion plans 35th Avenue road meet stirs landowners
Marion residents raise sharp objections as planners consider a three lane extension from 10th Street east to 82nd Street in Cedar Rapids. Developers may supply right of way as land is built, not paid compensation. Farmers Bob and Beverly Etzel fear loss of retirement land while three alignments threaten homes and a Mulberry Ridge development.

Marion to discuss 35th Avenue alignment options at special session
The Marion City Council will review three 35th Avenue alignment alternatives at a 3 p.m. work session on Sept. 11 with a public hearing planned for Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. Whitlow notes developers may shift plans to offices or condos instead of single family homes along the route. Land remains agricultural complicating rights of way as Marion lacks funds and condemnation becomes harder under new landowner protections.
