City trees cut as Bever Park pool rises in Cedar Rapids
The Cedar Rapids city tree and Bever Park spruce are cut as a pool project starts. One tree moved within Bever Park and dead trees felled to clear space for the new pool footprint. The Linn County Board of Supervisors hears funding pitches while seeking to hold the tax levy steady amid potential state cuts. The History Center requests 120000 annually for three years, about current 62000. Hiawatha redraws precincts after state guidance, while security at the water facility gains a new siren and gate. Marion offers a free extra trash bag week after Christmas with limits.
