The city of Cedar Rapids completed more than 50 street improvement projects in 2025 through its tax-supported “Paving for Progress” program. The projects were supported by a one-percent sales tax first approved by voters in 2013 and reapproved in 2021. Tax funds collected as a result are earmarked specifically for roadway improvements. Since the program went into effect in 2014, it has led to more than $250 million being invested into more than 500 roadway projects across the city. The city in 2025 completed 51 such projects. Some of the larger Paving for Progress projects in 2025 included those at: 42nd Street NE from Edgewood Road to Pine View Drive Third Street SW from Third Avenue to Diagonal Drive 35th Street NE from Oakland Road to F Avenue First Avenue W intersection with I-380 ramp.
