Sioux City officials consider $16M riverfront project plan

News

January 15th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Sioux City officials are considering a $16.4 million plan for its riverfront, though there are concerns there’s not enough parking space. The Sioux City Journal reports that architecture company SmithGroup JJR presented council members with the updated plan Monday. Landscape architect Tom Rogers says the plan includes interactive structures that light up and change color. The plan also includes open green spaces, pavilions, overlooks, a basketball court, a dog park, a playground and a fishing pier platform. Rogers says work on the project could begin in 2020 and finish in 2023.

The council has tentatively designated $6 million in city funds for the project. Organizers will have to turn to private fundraising. Mayor Bob Scott says he’s concerned that the current plan for 67 parking spaces doesn’t have enough room.

Man accused of shooting pellet gun at bus gets probation

News

January 15th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

FOREST CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Forest City man accused of shooting a pellet gun at a school bus has been given five years of probation. The Globe Gazette reports that 33-year-old Martin Tindall also was sentenced last week to five years in prison, suspended, and told to pay $510 restitution to the Forest City school district. He’d entered an Alford plea to the felony charge of intimidation with a dangerous weapon. In an Alford plea, a person doesn’t admit guilt but acknowledges there is enough evidence for a likely conviction.

No one was injured in the Jan. 5, 2018, incident. A pellet shattered one of the bus windows .
