Parkade Opening Day Unveils 426-Spot Ramp in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids opens a 426-car Parkade on First Street SE with a 1 p.m. ribbon cut by Mayor Jim Meaghan. The system uses time stamping and cashiers at exits, with free parking today and 10 cents an hour starting Monday. Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound will distribute candy canes to kids through 4 p.m. The project, tied to Fourth Street and rail line improvements, cost about 1.08 million dollars financed by 1.7 million in revenue bonds, with projections to ease loop traffic and support downtown shopping.
