35 mph on First Avenue eyed in Cedar Rapids plan
Cedar Rapids moves toward a 35 mph speed limit on most of First Avenue with enforcement to begin after a city council ordinance. The plan covers First Avenue E from Fifth Street to Glenbrook Cove and First Avenue W to the city limits, with changes to traffic signals and potential one way adjustments on Second and Third avenues. The safety commission notes 35 is feasible with wide streets and multiple signals, and buses’ use of Second Avenue as a terminal remains under review.

Naval aviation aims to control sea lanes and defeat foes, while missiles redefine future fleets and potential carrier obsolescence. The Atlantic is precisely charted by air force teams to secure long range strikes.
