CEDAR RAPIDS - Ask and you shall receive. The call went out for a little input and the buildings were barely big enough to hold the audience.

"I think it's great that people care enough to learn about what's going on in the city," said one person at the forum.

After three meetings, the city had heard from hundreds of people.

"Well it's a good idea, but I don't know if they're going to listen," said a flood victim.

Not all of the people who showed up were flood victims.

"I'm really concerned about the future of the city," said a person that wasn't directly affected by the flood.

While those with flooded homes were the most affected by the flood, everyone will be affected with how the city decides to rebuild.

This is their chance to make sure they're not missing anything.

"Did we miss something, do we need to add something to the plan, do we need to check some of the options, how we're collecting data? Have we accessed all the resources? We're going to use that to take it to the next step," said Community Development Director Christine Butterfield.

The city is going to take this feedback and put it into a new report, that will again be up for public feedback on just where the city is headed. That will happen on September 9th.

If you missed the feedback sessions, you can still send in your input by going to the website below:
