Cedar Rapids rejects four-plex plans on Deerwood Street
Cedar Rapids City Council blocked rezoning from R-2 to R-4 for 15 four-plexes on five acres on Deerwood Street SW. The ordinance lacked a second after residents opposed the project at a public hearing, with 133 signatures filed. Residents argued the development is unnecessary, would be surrounded by single-family homes, and worsen traffic on Kirkwood Boulevard.

EPA urged noise barriers for Cedar Rapids I 380 Iowa 100
The EPA urged Cedar Rapids planners to consider a noise barrier at the Interstates 380 and Iowa 100 interchange and to restrict further residential development along the corridor. The report by Robert Fenemore found noise in Northwood Knolls would rise, air quality impact would be negligible, and recommended evaluating barriers, studying feasibility of a continuous barrier, and preventing incompatible further development. Cedar Rapids officials questioned copies of the report and suggested it is the state’s duty to build noise walls, while stressing careful oversight of development near the highway.

Billings pushes city to act on ski jump crossing
Cedar Rapids resident Harry Billings renewed his appeal to pressure the Iowa Department of Transportation to fix the H Avenue NE railroad crossing near I-380. He described the crossing as a ski jump causing vibrations, debris, and noise that affect his rental properties at 1137 1139 and 1141 H Ave NE. The city said discussions with the railroad and IDOT continue without a clear direction. Billings plans to film next week’s council meeting for a prepared project.
