Suit filed to halt Cedar Valley Expressway spending
A Linn County suit seeks to block Cedar Rapids from using municipal funds for the Cedar Valley Expressway planning and construction. Plaintiffs say funds violate taxpayers wishes and amount to an illegal use of municipal power. About 22 000 has been spent on phase one, 90 000 on phase two, with more to come. The project, estimated at 45 million, would run from Hiawatha through Cedar Rapids to U S 218, largely financed by federal and state money.
