Truck Traffic Banned in City Alleys

BOONE, Iowa---The annual spring announcement from Boone Public Works is out, garbage trucks are being banned from alleys until further notice.  Directors of Public Works and Parks for Boone, John Rouse, says usually the frost would be coming out and that would make the alleys pretty soft.  This year, the rain and lack of frost is causing the problems.  Last spring, additional rain caused the ban to be extended for some time.  Weather conditions will also be important this spring.  Garbage companies were notified last week about the impending ban on traffic.
