A MAQUOKETA WOMAN RECEIVED UNKNOWN INJURIES AFTER SHE HIT A VEHICLE WITH HER BICYCLE THAT SHE WAS RIDING ON WEST PLATT STREET TUESDAY MORNING. IDA MAE MATTHIESEN WAS RIDING HER BIKE DOWN THE SIDEWALK AND HIT A VEHICLE OWNED BY A CENTRAL CITY WOMAN. MATTHIESEN WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL.

THE MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL THIS WEEK VOTED NOT TO RETURN $100,000 TO THE STATE WHICH HAD BEEN DESIGNATED FOR A RIVER WALKING TRAIL ALONG THE MAQUOKETA RIVER. THE COUNCIL WILL LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS TO USE THE MONEY INSTEAD OF FOR THE PAVED TRAIL. WHATEVER PROJECT IS SELECTED, WILL REQUIRE AN EQUAL MATCH OF LOCAL FUNDS.

A $700,000 HOME IS GOING UP ON WEST SUMMIT STREET IN MAQUOKETA.
