16 Ways City of Marion Annual Report
We Put
Marion on
the Map
in 2016

LE T TER FROM THE M AYOR
Dear Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to share with you the 2016 Annual Report
for the City of Marion. Our city has experienced important progress
over the past year and this report captures just some of the ways in
which we – as civil servants, businesses and citizens – are working
together to put Marion on the map.
As we implement long-range plans for improving infrastructure
and accommodating Marion’s fast-growing population, we’re also
seeing unprecedented con dence in our city and tremendous interest
by developers, with a number of truly transformative projects in
the works.
e goal of our city council, professional sta and economic develop-
ment partners is to create opportunities here for an unequaled quality
of life. We sincerely believe in Marion’s potential to be the best place
in Iowa to raise a family and grow a business; a place where we reach
higher and achieve more – in business and in life.
ank you for taking the time to read this Annual Report. I hope
you’ll agree that we have much to celebrate and a bright future ahead.
Let’s continue reaching higher, together.

Nicolas AbouAssaly

employment opportunities, they increase the tax base for both
the City and School Districts, who otherwise rely heavily on
residential development.

INFRASTRUCTURE

3 PROGRESS AHEAD:
Central Corridor Project Goes Round

Marion’s Central Corridor is one of the most prominent and identi able areas within the community.
Properties once reserved for warehouses and industrial uses are now better positioned for a mix of
commercial and residential development.

Two major phases of the project were completed in 2016 with the roundabouts at each end of
the corridor opening late in the year. e roundabouts are part of a long term tra c management
plan for Marion’s core, and will eventually balance tra c between 6th and 7th Avenues
and create a more pedestrian-friendly atmosphere in Uptown Marion.

4 Tower Terrace Road
Collaboration

Regional collaboration keeps the Tower Terrace Road
project moving ahead. Tower Terrace Road will provide
another major east-west arterial route across the northern
portion of the Cedar Rapids metro area, connecting Interstate
380 to Highway 13. e project runs through portions of
Hiawatha, Cedar Rapids, Robins, Linn County and Marion.

ese juridictions have pledged $1 million to help fund the
proposed interchange o Interstate 380 and anticipate regional
transportation dollars being added to bring the total local
commitment to as much as $5 million. It is expected that
the remaining cost of the $22 million interchange would
be covered by Iowa Department of Transportation funds.

Marion has continued to make steady progress on segments
of the roadway through public/private partnerships. Most
recently, the stretch from 10th Street to the future location
of Winslow Road was constructed.

being donated to the food pantry by library patrons in
November to reduce overdue material nes. In addition,
the library has become a mobile food pantry stop for
HACAP; once a month, they bring a truck with food
items for qualifying recipients to pick up. During the
summer, the library partnered with USDA and Horizons

Marion is committed to being the safest
city in the Corridor. While it is natural to
think about the crime rate, the safety of a
community encompasses building code
enforcement, re code enforcement, street
design, park development and more.

“Marion has been a model for other Iowa communities and is an
encouraging example of what can be done when the citizens of a com-
munity join together to truly transform their environment,” said Jami
Haberl, Iowa Healthiest State Initiative executive director.

Some noteworthy achievements in Marion include: the passing of a
nicotine-free parks ordinance, the addition of nine community gardens
at local schools with students involved in tending to and harvesting the
produce, new bicycle racks installed at seven local parks to encourage
physical activity, and nearly 600 people participating in sunrise yoga
at Lowe Park over the course of one year.

component of the project’s success is Perfect
