Two people walk along the Centennial Path where Rosenberry Road turns into West River Avenue on Friday evening. The city of Coeur d'Alene and North Idaho College are negotiating how they will share the cost of work being done, which includes the removal of trees and vegetation, on the levee that runs along Rosenberry Drive and West River Avenue, commonly called "the dike road."

That question came up Wednesday when city of Coeur d'Alene representatives provided North Idaho College trustees with an update on the work being done along Rosenberry Drive, also known as "the dike road," which runs along the NIC campus near the beach and Spokane River. Coeur d'Alene City Administrator Jim Hammond and City Engineer Gordon Dobler recommended to the trustees that the college split the cost of more than $800,000 in maintenance work still required for flood levee to be certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. NIC Trustee Ken Howard told The Press Friday that during the meeting he raised questions regarding which entity is legally responsible for maintaining the dike. "If it's the city's fundamental responsibility, and they're paying (the maintenance costs) for everybody else, but want us to pay half - is that really fair?" Howard said/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Who should pay for the Dike Road work -- city of Coeur d'Alene, North Idaho College, Fortgrounds neighborhood or all of the above?
