35.29%	Yes, the city needs the money it will generate.
64.7%	No, the closure will mean big headaches for drivers.

Comment: This is big for cedar rapids. We need more developement downtown and more attractions along with it. This closure of a small portion of 2nd ave will cause the average driver to loose 20 seconds because of it.

Comment: Haven't they heard of overpasses? If they have to relocate, fine with me. by Bryan

Comment: The inconvenience will be made up in new jobs alone. Too many benefits to pass up this opportunity. by Beth

Comment: Call PCI's bluff. They have invested too much already to back out and are either bullying us or using the power they have over elected officials who have something to gain from this deal.

Comment: its not just about money, its also about bringing in more jobs and more people to downtown areas. more businesses need to use this as a stepping stone to grow in that area. by annonymous

Comment: no city should be held captive with threats if pci moves where well they go who is going to profit from pci is the real question please find out it wont be the patience maybe the share holders or owners of the building by Douglas

Comment: Build up not out. It works everywhere else. by Mark

Comment: The proposal is a moving target. It keeps changing. A final decision needs to be put on hold until ALL of the facts are in print, and on the table. Earlier discussion by PCI hinted that not closing 2nd Ave would not be a deal breaker. What happen here? And what else will change? by Rich

Comment: PCI is saying either do what we want or else... I say we shouldn't close a major link to downtown C.R. for their convenience/profit. It won't improve medical care, but it will destroy what little is left of second avenue businesses. by Phyllis

Comment: Another threat to leave...don't let the door hit your rear on the way out.

Comment: Doesn't PCI have enough building space to work with? Why take away a major artery for traffic just to satisfy a clinic that's already big enough? by Alicia and Jerry

Comment: I have yet to hear a persuasive reason to allow PCI to shut 2nd Avenue. All that's been published is SPECULATION. Unless there is a clearly demonstrable need to close 2nd Avenue, it should remain open. by michael
