The City's Flood Management System was developed through the participation of over 4,000 Cedar Rapids residents during a 10-month flood recovery planning process to determine a framework for reinvestment.
The 7.5 mile system balances the priorities of the community to provide better protection, preserve neighborhoods and assets, and maximize open space by combining the following tactics:
- Permanent floodwall at Penford, Quaker, Cargill and the North Rail Yards
- Removable floodwalls at downtown and Czech Village
- Wall openings for neighborhood connections
- Levee greenway between flood control structures and Cedar River
