Cedar Rapids officials weigh an Intermodal Transportation Facility at an $8 million Pepsi site versus repairing the Ground Transportation Center.

Cedar Rapids fires: an arson in a hallway at Gateway Gardens and a fire started by a child with a lighter displaced a family of six. Police urge tips at the numbers provided.
