Cedar Rapids Greenway Plan updates amid public feedback push
Cedar Rapids moves to revise its 2014 Greenway Plan with New York firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates at a cost of 262800. The plan adds riverfront amenities from Q Avenue NW to O Avenue NW including a promenade skate park water play and canoe safari and links Czech Village with NewBo via a new loop. Public input from an open house and an online survey shapes the draft while a 14.6 million Feasibility study points toward dam modifications and white water features.

Cedar Rapids greenway plan aims to revitalize west Cedar River
The Cedar Rapids proposal outlines riverfront enhancements from Czech Village to Time Check including a riverfront park at Kingston Village with a lawn and dog run, a refreshed First Street SW walkway, and a 5-in-10am bypass channel for a whitewater rafting feature, plus a Czech Village Roundhouse and an enhanced Alliant Energy LightLine Bridge loop. The plan envisions a pedestrian friendly, youth oriented district with convertible streets and expanded bike facilities, funded possibly by a property tax increase.
