Alcohol Banned From Bridge

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone County Conservation Commission has decided to ban open containers of alcohol, which includes beer and wine, from being consumed on the High Trestle Trail Bridge. Commission members this week did not indicate that there was a serious problem, but felt it would be in the best interest of the public to prohibit the practice. Commission members say their intent is not to prohibit alcoholic beverages from the trail, just from consumption on the High Trestle Trail Bridge itself. Signs will be posted and Conservation Officers will begin the enforcement.
