IOWA CITY - The city of Iowa City is rolling out plans for a major redevelopment of the area south of downtown.
The goal is to have a walkable and transit-friendly neighborhood that offers a mix of housing, commercial and recreational opportunities.
The city has come up with a new name for the area, the Riverfront Crossings District. It's roughly bordered by Burlington Street on the north, Highway 6 on the south, Gilbert Street on the east and the Iowa River on the west.

A kickoff presentation with experts on urban design and transportation will be held Nov. 11. An open house and a public input session will be Nov. 13.
I'll have a story in Wednesday's Gazette.
