CEDAR RAPIDS - The third and final open house for public input on the Mount Vernon Road Corridor action plan is from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday in the gym at All Saints School, 720 29th St. SE.

The event is an open house with no formal presentation.

The action plan effort has focused on developing a safer and more functional vision for Mount Vernon Road between 10th Street SE and 44th Street SE. Feedback has focused on walkability, desire for different shopping amenities, congestions and heavy traffic and road improvements.

Residents may review and provide feedback on a draft of action steps compiled based on input from previous sessions. A final plan could be presented to City Council for approval later this year.

Information about the plan is available on the city's website at http://bit.ly/2dDrPxM.

Residents meet at All Saints School to discuss the Mount Vernon Road improvement plan on Sept. 12, 2016. (B.A. Morelli, The Gazette)
