Hearing set on vacating road to Squaw Creek golf park
Linn County Board of Supervisors set a public hearing for 11 a.m. April 20 to consider vacating the county road into the Cedar Rapids Squaw Creek golf course and Squaw Creek Park from Highway 13. If approved, the city would take over the road while park users would use old Highway 94 a mile north. Supervisor Joe Rinas supported the move if golfers from Marion and northeast Cedar Rapids avoid long detours on old 94 to Highway 13. Additional items included transit service contracts for the elderly, bridge ownership changes, and a pending sale of a county house to the Community Theatre Building Corp with tax figures under review.
