With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rocksound, and high-energy live shows, Loverboy has sold morethan 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaquesand a trio of double-platinum releases. Their string of hitsincludes the anthem “Working for the Weekend” and arena rockstaples like “Lovin’ Every Minute of It,” “This Could Be theNight,” “Hot Girls in Love,” “Heaven in Your Eyes,” “Turn MeLoose,” “When It’s Over,” and “Queen of the Broken Hearts.”The band has played on mega tours with Journey, Bob Seger,

Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas, and Def Leppard. They quicklybecame MTV darlings as one of the first bands ever featured on the music channel. Their pop culture credibility was cemented in a 30 Rock

episode in which Scott Adsit’s character was inserted into vintage ‘80s footage of the band wailing away on “Working forthe Weekend.” The song is also known as the soundtrack for a memorable Saturday Night Live skit with Chris Farley andPatrick Swayze.

Although we had nevermet the six riders, once they arrived itquickly felt like we were longtime friends.They made use of our showers and sleepingaccommodations but otherwise we hardly knew they were in our home. After they left we found the beds were made and the towels folded. As soon as we learned that RAGBRAI was returning to Coralville, we invited them back into our home. We lookforward to meeting them again in July."

SUMMER 2015

Coral Ridge Avenue ImprovementsBy late summer 2015, construction is expected to be substantially complete on the half-mile stretch of CoralRidge Avenue (Highway 965) between the Holiday Road/Heartland Drive and Oakdale Boulevard intersections.

The project includes widening Coral Ridge Avenue to fourlanes, additional turn lanes, a trail connection betweenHeartland Drive and Oakland Boulevard, a trail underpassjust north of the Holiday Road/Heartland Drive intersection,storm sewers, landscaping, and lighting. It also includesunique stormwater practices to protect water quality in the Clear Creek watershed: the use of bioswales, which are designed to collect and filter storm water, will reduce surface runoff and flash flooding, and provide green infrastructure educational opportunities.

While a majority of the mainline paving is complete, south-bound and northbound traffic is restricted to one lane ineach direction while work continues on the center medianand shoulders. New corner treatments have been installedat the Heartland Drive/Holiday Road intersection. The finallandscaping and bioswale construction will be complete in fall 2015.

5th StreetReconstruction over Biscuit Creek

5th Street is beingreconstructed andraised from 3rdAvenue to 4th Avenueas it crosses BiscuitCreek to provide floodprotection in thisarea. The projectincludes new paving,new underground

utilities, new sidewalks, streetscapeimprovements, and on-street parkingassociated with the 1876 Schoolhouseand Old Town Hall.

When the project is complete,pedestrians and cyclists will be ableto enjoy an overlook on the southside of 5th Street.

As of late May 2015, the undergroundutility work is complete, installation of the new Biscuit Creek box culvert is finished, and electrical work andembankment fill near Biscuit Creek isunderway. The project will be substan-tially complete by mid-August, weatherpermitting, and the final landscapingwork will be complete in fall 2015.

Mini-Roundabout at 12th Avenue &Holiday RoadCoralville’s first mini-roundabout will beconstructed at the 12th Avenue andHoliday Road intersection in June 2015,when the existing four-way stop intersec-tion is converted to a mini-roundabout.

Construction will begin in early Juneand will be complete by early July,weather permitting. The intersectionwill be closed to traffic during the proj-ect. East-west Holiday Road traffic willbe detoured using Brown Deer Road,Oakdale Boulevard, 12th Avenue, andLiberty Lane. North-south 12th Avenuetraffic will be detoured using OzarkRidge, Holiday Road, and Liberty Lane.

A mini-roundabout at the 12th Avenue/Holiday Road intersection will create amore efficient traffic flow and reducedelays and backups at the intersection,especially during peak driving times. Amini-roundabout functions just like a reg-ular roundabout, but is used where speedsare already low and where space doesn’tallow for a full-size modern roundabout.With its smaller diameter and small pavedcenter island with a lower curb, a mini-roundabout offers most of the benefits of a regular roundabout with a smallerfootprint.

Sewer Rate &Stormwater FeeChange Begins July 1 The rate change was approved by the City Council following a review and public hearing for the budget for the fiscal year that begins on July 1.

Until EffectiveMonthly Rate June 30, 2015 July 1, 2015Stormwater Management Fee $2.00 $3.00

Sewer(first 200 cubic feet) $8.00 $8.85

Sewer(each additional 100 cubic feet) $2.67 $2.92

The sewer rate change continues to build resources to finance a significant planned sewer treatment plantproject to accommodate Coralville’s growth for the coming 20 years. The stormwater management fee funds the stormwater management program as well as operating and maintaining stormwater pumping stations, a key piece of the flood mitigation protectionconstructed since the 2008 flood.

On dog poop, barking, and leashesSCOOP THE POOPWhen it comes to protecting water quality and being agood neighbor, a little poop left behind is a problem. Petowners are responsible for scooping up after their pets. Dog poop contains fecal coliform bacteria like E. coli

and other parasites, viruses, worms, and worm eggs thatcan cause illness. In addition to polluting water, thesebacteria and viruses can linger in the soil and be easilytransmitted to animals or people long after the poop is gone.To dispose of dog waste, throw it in the trash, flush it

down the toilet, or bury it. Do not compost it or throw it in a yard waste collection bag, unless you can be sure itwill reach temperatures that will destroy pathogens andnot adversely impact finished compost.

BE KIND WITH BARKINGArf! Grrr! Wooof! While the voice of a four-legged friendcan go a long way, excessive barking can be a nuisance. If your pet is especially noisy, consider the impact on

your neighbors. According to City Code, a noisy animal isconsidered a nuisance if it barks, bays, howls, or criescontinuously for ten minutes or barks intermittently for a half hour or more, and the sound is audible across aresidential boundary. To help your pet, consider regularwalks, a chew toy, bringing your pet inside, or rewardingthem if they respond to a quieting technique such as a signal or spray bottle.

KNOW THE LEASH LAWAll pets, regardless of age, must be leashed at all timesunless confined by a tether or within the owner’s enclosedproperty. If the owner is present and supervising the animal on the owner's premises, an exception to the leash law is made.Pets must not be tied and left unattended when off the

owner's property, and pets are not to be tethered to publicproperty. Unleashed pets accompanied by their ownerwhile walking, jogging, cycling, visiting parks, or anywhereon public property are in violation of the law.
