Conservation Board Waits on Lease Agreement

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone County Conservation Board continues to try and secure an agreement with property owners near the High Trestle Trail for access to some land to be used for additional parking in the area of QF Lane.  The county road has become a nightmare for many residents because people use the point to access the High Trestle Trail.  It is the closest access location to the Trail Bridge.  The Conservation Board initially secure funds to construct a small parking lot to be used for handicap visitors, but that was quickly filled by trail users.  The Board and the Supervisors have been trying to secure some additional land through a lease agreement, but that has yet to be finalized.
