Des Moines County engineer Brian Carter told the county supervisors and department heads yesterday that residents are ready for Des Moines County 99 to open.
But we re going to have to wait.
Chaired by Jim Cary while chairman Tom Broeker is away on family business, the meeting essentially began with Carter s report on the DMC-99 bridge, the Flint Bottom bridge and county roads in general.
Carter said, If it would quit raining two or three inches all at once, that would help our progress as much as anything on projects. He said Monday s storms didn t cause much damage besides a few downed trees.

When glove-wearing volunteers, trash bags in hand, take to the streets of Burlington and West Burlington on Saturday for the annual Earth Day cleanup, they will work in memory of Randy Miller.
“Scouting out locations, recruiting volunteers, gathering supplies and door prizes, picking up litter and bags during the event he was ready to help in any capacity needed. Randy took great satisfaction in improving the community in many ways, and Burlington is a better place because of his efforts,” Keep Burlington Beautiful said in a recent Facebook post.
