A MESSAGE FROM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IN CEDAR RAPIDS Beginning today, June 8, 2020, the existing playground at Cleveland Park will be closed so that it can be removed. This will make way for a new playground that will be installed later this week and the week following. The new playground at Cleveland Park will include a 2-5 year old play structure and a 5-12 year old play structure. There will be new swings, including a companion swing. There will also be musical instruments, spring rider, net climber and other exciting features. The new playground features many universally accessible features. The Parks Department is looking at a 2-3 week time line to complete construction of the new playground depending upon weather.    A MESSAGE FROM THE CITY OF CEDAR RAPIDS
Work begins on Monday, June 8 for the Chandler Street project. Crews will begin with water main work between 10th Avenue and 9th Avenue, which will include connecting homes to the new water main. If you live in this area, watch for door hangers that will alert you to any temporary water service disruption during this time. The intersection of Chandler Street and 10th Avenue will be closed starting next week for the water main work, and will remain closed for upcoming storm sewer improvements and reconstruction of the intersection. Since this intersection is near the Jefferson High School softball complex, a temporary sidewalk will be constructed to provide safe access while this work is underway. We anticipate all work on school grounds and at the intersection of Chandler Street/10th Avenue to be completed before the 2020-2021 school year starts mid-August. Thank you for your patience as this project gets underway. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a member of our project team.
THANK YOU to our neighbors who contributed to the food drive for Cleveland Elementary School.
Together, we contributed six LARGE boxes (and one smaller one!) of food donations, PLUS almost $700 in grocery money that we sent CANA President George Cathy Heeren to spend at our Hy-Vee store. Shout out to Kiki and Brian at the Hy-Vee for supporting our neighborhood projects!! 👏 Construction will begin next week on the Chandler Street SW project
Traffic impacts later this summer when the project moves farther along include the closure of the intersection at 10th Ave and Chandler. We will continue to send you updates as the project moves forward. If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team. Our contact information is located on the right-hand side. ABOUT THE PROJECT The Chandler Street project stretches from 10th Avenue to 18th Street SW, and includes asphalt resurfacing, drainage improvements, water main replacement, sidewalk extension and sidewalk ramp upgrades.
