Public Right of Way Care

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Council spent time discussing the care and maintenance of public right of way following construction projects.  The discussion was driven by the next phase of the city's sanitary sewer rehabilitation project.  Over the past two years, not all the public right of way disturbed by sanitary sewer projects has come back and Boone Public Works continues to receive complaints about the work.  Boone Mayor John Slight says part of the problem has been the weather, part is a contractor that did poor work and sometimes it's residents that haven't cared for the parking.  Many residents feel that the city had the property dug up and the city should take care of it.  Slight made his comments on Tuesday's Tuned In Program.
