Good morning, Waterloo.

Cedar Bend Humane Society is hosting a Halloween event featuring 14 dogs dressed in costumes—inviting community members to visit the pumpkin patch and explore adoption options.

The event will take place tomorrow on Halloween, offering a festive way to meet adoptable pets.

Waterloo Water Works is flushing water mains today from Kimball Avenue to West Ninth Street between Williston Avenue and East Ridgeway Avenue—this work is part of routine maintenance in the area.

Developers ATI Group and McClure announced plans at a community meeting to transform Crossroads Mall into The Boulevard at Crossroads—saying that the current structure will be demolished for safety reasons and that utility work is set for November and December.

They stated demolition will begin after the holidays and take about 240 days, with new infrastructure work scheduled to start in 2027.
