HINT of Spring and MORE!

I do say, a 'hint' of Spring today. No wind, and it is about 40 deg. NICE for us....When the snow melts it sure leaves a mess. Coralville looks its WORST this time of year. Bad. BUT,, BUT, the next phase is good......Flowers, green, leaves, grass, and best of all, warm air.. Bring it on, HOWEVER we all know that March is a doozy, and as Yogi might have said, "it ain't over till it's over'........
I saw some construction guys working on the new sidewalk along 1st avenue again. This is their first time back since last November when the weather got too cold for cement guys to work. I also stopped and scoped out the bridge over Clear Creek... Slow, methodical, but sure is looking good. The job is to 'raise' this bridge, thus helping water in Clear Creek to NOT back up against the bridge like it did in Flood 08.. With the HIGHER bridge we will have a bike/walking trail under the bridge.. Lots of neat things coming in that area in the next couple years and sooner!

Coralville got I-JOBS money for a lot of the 1st Ave projects., JUST in time, as now those funds are NOT available.. Whew!! Next BIG project is a giant earthen berm from the Marriott to Rocky Shore Drive.. This should be fun to watch.......

Also, good rumors about some 'fun' kind of businesses to be locating in Iowa River Landing area near the Marriott.............??/ Have you visited the Johnson County Historical Museum and/or the Old Car Museum across the street from the Marriott.... Take time to do this. Those two museums are really interesting..VERY INTERESTING..

Hope to see you in Coralville!!
