Hiawatha residents clash over Boyson Road paving assessments
City Council hearing on Boyson Road paving drew objections from 10 property owners led by Carmellatta and John Lentz over high assessments. The Lentzes alone face about $21,900 while overall costs total around $143,000 with the city and county sharing. Plans call for two paved lanes now and two more when connected to I 380, with federal funds covering adjacent lanes. Chaffee Drive would cost $32,000 with no objections. The council recessed to Thursday to review the formal objection filed by the Lentzes and consult the city attorney.
