Council Street Extension Delays Spark Iowa Traffic Jam
Cedar Rapids faces a major traffic squeeze as Council street extension stalls over rail crossing and funding. City hall, Chamber of Commerce, Collins Radio and east side motorists push for a 1,000 foot link from the Collins plant area to Blairs Ferry road to ease the 3.5 mile detour choking Center Point road traffic. Public Services Director Jenson says a one month build could finish if started now, but fence delays and a pending Commerce Commission hearing leave the plan in limbo.
