Paving program pared to 4 projects
Cedar Rapids city officials trim the 1981 concrete paving plan from six to four projects. Two routes on 33rd Avenue SW and Wiley Boulevard SW are dropped due to opposition and ownership issues. The revised program totals about 232 170 with 49 400 in assessments. City funds cover most costs. The four projects must be approved as a group by at least four votes.
