Welcome to the Citizens for Sensible Development Web Site

Another Small Victory for CSD...Another Delay from Coralville! In January, Judge Russell ruled with CSD and Oglesby et Al against the Coralville annexation of Scanlon Farms. The ruling would have allowed the North Liberty annexation request to be considered by the City Development Board in Des Moines. Unfortunately, Coralville has filed an appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court based on the City's belief that they had no reason to notify the neighbors. This attitude is one of the major reasons that the residents of the north corridor have chosen a future tied to North Liberty. (Read about the judgement here)

We are Citizens for Sensible Development - a chartered, non-profit, inclusive group organized for the purpose of monitoring development in the North Corridor of Johnson County, Iowa. Our charge is to educate residents and local government officials on issues related to road placement and development projects and to promote input from the citizens, taxpayers, and homeowners in Johnson County.

We support:

• Development projects and road alignments in the North Corridor that allow for growth while minimizing the negative effects on existing neighborhoods.
• Coordination of development with road alignments that take into account the impact of traffic throughout the North Corridor.
• Careful planning for the entire North Corridor, which includes citizen input. Click here to see a map of the North Corridor.
