It needs protection but not at the expense of the homes. Build the levees on the berms. We have enough parks.

Why? U of I is at a treatment level that is not available in Cedar Rapids. Moral of the story is no matter how they build is something is seriously wrong with you and your life is at risk, get to IC as fast as you can!

Using their own money, not begging the City for tax breaks. Now here comes St. Luke's whining about being left out. Give me a break. A TAX BREAK! Thank you Mercy Hospital for being a contributing part of this community now and now just promising to do so in the future.

He would rather meet in boardrooms with his cronies than do anything in public. He's convinced he is far superior to all of you idiots who bother to attend the meetings.

How does a new Cedar River Trail underpass qualify as disaster prevention? I am tired of the leaders of this community not listening to its citizens that do not want to move from the Northwest side. Any of you commentors live on the Northwest side? I'm betting you do not. It's easy to say "tear down that neighborhood" when it is not yours or anyone you care about.

Even with the buy local if there is a large percentage difference between the local bid and the lower bid they take the lower bid if it is from godknowswhere.
