Cedar River trail group eyes old CRANDIC bridge as pedestrian link

Severn and the Southside Investment Board in New Bohemia aim to repurpose the 1922 Rock Island Railroad bridge into a pedestrian bike crossing over the Cedar River. The project would connect New Bohemia with the Cedar River Trail and the 16th Avenue bridge, with a design cost possibly around 800000 and a target start of construction in fall 2016. The plan aligns with New Bohemia’s arts district revival and local trail initiatives, with MPO ranking and grants under consideration.

Telemedicine in Iowa Faces Adoption Hurdles and Legal Debate

UI officials note telemedicine expands rural access but usage is slow due to unfamiliarity, reimbursement gaps, and infrastructure needs. Iowa work on parity laws stalled in committee while new Board of Medicine rules aim to clarfy relationships and safety. Interstate licensing could improve access, yet political and abortion debates complicate policy, as experts urge separating clinical care from unrelated disputes.
