Resident critical of street project, assessments

By Patrick Fisher, Staff Writer

The New Prague City Council unanimously adopted assessments for the 2010 street and utility improvement project, which resident Rod Tietz called an abusive use of taxing authority.

The comment from Tietz came during the public hearing for the assessments at the council's Monday meeting. The assessments cover work done on portions of Highview Circle, Pershing Avenue N, Lyndale Avenue N, Fifth Street NE, Sixth Street NE, Seventh Street NE, Lexington Avenue N and Third Street SE.
