It would boost the minimum wage a dollar each year for three years starting january first. That would take the minimum wage from 725 an hour now to 1025 by the year 2019.

Kinnick stadium is returning to the home of the hawkeyes after a major concert this weekend. Up next, we look at the progress of the clean up. And find out how iowa city will help drivers get to and from kinnick for saturdays fans cheering stadium this weekend when the hawkeyes open their new season. But those fans might need some patience getting to the stadium. Ts because a construction project that will raise dubuque street is reducing the main road into town to just one lane in each direction. Kcrgtv9s mark carlson joins us from iowa city this getting football fans to and from kinnick . Really what officials are saying is avoid that area. But, one challenge thats the main way into iowa city for a lot of people. It brings a little traffic in, we have a great street sign out there, so it brings a little traffic through the store. For businesses along first avenue in more traffic these days with so many people searching for alternative routes to iowa city that avoid dubuque street. I think well see people come through, but spirits are generally good. Now the real test is only days away if it backs up theres a little concern especially with football season coming, im sure it will back up from the intersection for a long time. City Officials Say this weekend following the first game of the season dubuque street will become a one way street only letting traffic go roads. That way traffic leaving iowa city will have two lanes of travel. But there wont be any changes before the game. I hope we do it again, just not a week before football season. Meanwhile at Kinnick Stadium cleanup is underway after the back porch revival. Right now we dont know what it looks like under there, but it certainly didnt kill the grass because theres no grass. The concert proved to be a good test for traffic. With no major problems reported. But thousands more are expected in Officials Say drivers should consider public transportatio n, like buses or the hawkeye express train. That picks people up near the Coral Ridge Mall and drops them off at kinnick. I have a feeling because of Road Construction and numbers are up, i think those hawkeye express numbers will go up too. Athletics Officials Say they should have the stadium completely ready to go for football by midweek.
