Trees Creek Dominate I-380 Design Hearing
Public hearing on Interstate 380 in northeast Cedar Rapids focused on trees to be removed along Redbud Road NE and a relocated McCloud run creek threatening a $2.25 million apartment project by Fader Development. The new plan shifts the creek with two 90 degree turns, impacting two acres of land behind the ongoing development. Interchanges are planned at Coldstream Avenue Glass Road and Forty second Street with service roads between Coldstream and Glass Road. The 1.8 mile multilaned segment parallels the Waterloo rail line, which will be removed, and the project drew general support amid several criticisms.
