Cedar Rapids considers ‘creative solutions’ as it fine-tunes flood protection design

This passage from the article on Cedar Rapids flood protection project says it all: “This project has a practical purpose — protect the city and the people in it — but it also is an opportunity to have a once in three- or four-generation development project that would bring people to the river,” said council member Tyler Olson, who chairs the committee. “So, keeping those two purposes in mind will serve us well as we continue to construct.” Take note, Minot.
