After 10 months of dispute over Rosemont Avenue's 3.2 million construction, city officials say contractor C W Hetzer and subcontractor L W Wolfe are at fault for ongoing issues. Repairs begun after delays involve milling, repaving, and restriping between Military Road and Montevue Lane. The city accepts the west stretch but pays a reduced price due to shorter service life.
