Drainage Problems Head Issues at Mayor's Meet
The Northeast Cedar Rapids neighborhood meeting at Noelridge fire station drew about 170 residents to debate drainage funding. Mayor Bob Johnson outlined two paths: special assessments via drainage districts or general obligation bonds, with the Kenwood sewer benefiting Kenwood residents only under a citywide bond plan. He favored a drainage district as fairest, while promising further public discussion and an upcoming meeting in six to eight weeks to explain assessments.
