WINDSOR HEIGHTS, Iowa (AP) — Property taxes will increase this year to pay for 16 blocks of new sidewalks in Windsor Heights, a city where neighborhood streets mostly haven’t had sidewalks since homes were built in the 1950s. The Des Moines Register reports that in addition to the tax hikes, residents of 175 properties will be assessed as much as $3,500 for the new sidewalks outside their home. A 2016 survey by the city found 69 percent of residents didn’t want the sidewalks.
