 NEIGHBOR ASSISTANCE REQUESTED There is a person in need of assistance who lives near Jefferson High School who needs a snow buddy. The details of the program are outlined in the attached document. The program asks that sidewalks (not entire driveways) are cleared, and this person’s lot is NOT a corner lot. The Snow Buddies program pairs residents in need of assistance with "Snow Heroes" — volunteers who can help clear sidewalks of snow and ice accumulations in the winter. The program is intended to benefit residents who are not physically able to remove snow and do not have other resources to remove snow, such as neighbors, friends or a hired service. Volunteer as a Snow Hero Snow Heroes provide the heavy lifting and help their neighbors in need clear sidewalks of snow and ice. Snow Heroes must be at least 18 years old and provide their own snow-removal equipment. Snow Heroes will not be allowed to solicit or accept money or gifts for their volunteer activities. Volunteer today!

20th St SW Speeding Issue: "Installation of permanent signs, including speed limit signs, is included in the construction contract. It is possible not all planned signs on 20th Street SW have been installed. Remaining construction, including sign installation will occur in 2022. If additional signs are recommended, they can be added by change order to the construction contract." We will re-visit this issue once the signs are installed and if speeding issue regularly continues. Jan Coleman on 20th St SW and CANA representatives have reported this to Traffic Engineering for follow up. Update from Traffic Engineering - December 2021:
"Removing snow and ice from sidewalks is another way you may help keep our community safe and accessible to neighbors, children walking to school, and visitors. Recent changes to Municipal Code Chapter 9.11 — Clearing Snow and Ice from Sidewalks — may affect Cedar Rapids residents and property owners. A summary of adopted changes is below:
Reduced timeframe for snow clearance
New civil citation and formal appeal process
Additional clarity for sidewalk clearance
The abatement fee is unchanged

Remaining new pavement on the Chandler Street SW loop, from 20th Street to the water tower entrance, was substantially in place last week with some curbing work completed this week. Temporary pavement was also placed where new and old pavement meet and where sanitary sewer manholes were previously replaced. The temporary pavement will provide a hard surface for winter driving and maintenance. Remaining 2021 work includes the following:
Remaining construction on the Chandler Street loop, between the water tower entrance and the southern intersection of 20th Street SW (Jefferson High School entrance), will begin in spring when weather allows. This work will include removal of temporary pavements, water main replacement, service line replacement, and construction of new pavement.

🚧 PAVING FOR PROGRESS CONSTRUCTION UPDATE 10-20-2021 🚧
Rain last week caused slight delays in construction along Chandler Street SW. However, we remain on track to wrap up 2021 work by mid-November. Here is work we expect will begin next week:
Residential driveways on Chandler Street SW, between 20th Street and the water tower entrance, will be constructed after new pavement has cured. Finish grading and sodding will follow. Prior to Thanksgiving, crews will place temporary pavement where new and old pavement meet and where sanitary sewer manholes were previously replaced. This way the streets can be hard-surfaced for winter driving and maintenance. Remaining construction on the Chandler Street loop, between the water tower entrance and the southern intersection of 20th Street SW, will begin in spring when weather allows. This work will include removal of temporary pavements, water main replacement, service line replacement, and construction of new pavement.
