Council approves filling right-of-way ditch

   Ida Grove City Council has given the green light to getting rid of a right-of-way ditch in the interest of safety.
   James Lindgren had petitioned the city for permission to have the ditch filled in, arguing it “does not appear to actively take any water from neighboring properties.”
   An existing drainage tube at the property’s eastern edge, at 1108 W 6th St, was intentionally filled in years ago, according to public works staff.
