Cedar Rapids Council cool on overpass for Kennedy High School
Cedar Rapids City Council members oppose a pedestrian overpass over Highway 100 near Kennedy High School. They seek school district financial participation and consider a new road from Blairs Ferry Road to 42nd Street as an alternative. IDOT estimates place overpass cost at 100000 dollars with potential busing savings of about 60000 dollars annually. The Planning Commission asked Koach to gauge school board support and funding willingness.
