Cedar Rapids council votes to close two blocks for clinic project
The Cedar Rapids City Council, after two and a half hours of public testimony, votes six to three to close two blocks of Second Avenue SE from 10th to 12th streets SE to make way for Physicians' Clinic of Iowa's $37 million medical building. Traffic changes would shift most traffic to Third Avenue SE, delaying downtown travel by about 90 seconds per trip. Mayor Ron Corbett and council member Chuck Swore supported the plan, noting long term tax revenue and economic benefits, while others weighed disruptions against the project.
