People who visit Bettendorf’s Leach Park, IA at the base of the Interstate 74 bridge, may have noticed the construction of a new, all-in-one picnic shelter over the past couple of months.
This wouldn’t be unusual if it were a city undertaking, but it wasn’t.
Building the shelter was a gift to the city, led by Travis Konda, a Twin Cities engineer who has been in Bettendorf for 40 months -- that’s 3 1/2 years -- working on the I-74 bridge.
