City flood group pushes berm near Cedar Lake design
Friends of Cedar Lake urge Cedar Rapids to adopt an alternative flood control alignment that uses the lake as a detention basin with a berm along the lake edge. The plan would protect Quaker Oats and nearby properties, allow fishing and kayaking, and could be dredged if adopted. Costs are similar to the master plan but more properties would be shielded, pending further study and council approval in 2018.
