Opposition to Eighth Avenue route for U.S. 30 at Cedar Rapids
A letter from F R White chief engineer of the state highway commission explains why the Eighth Avenue route for U S 30 through Cedar Rapids is not favored. The route would require a half mile long viaduct over eighteen railroad tracks costing about $500000 and offering little local benefit. A route along Fourteenth Avenue SW and Twelfth Avenue SE is viewed as better for growth and traffic, while Cedar Rapids gains a west entrance to U S 30. A separate note reports a Delta farm home fire extinguished with minimal damage and attributed to a chimney spark.
