Несмотря на утверждение хозяина, что забор был нужен для защиты от вандализма, соседи и городские чиновники сочли конструкцию угрозой безопасности учащихся.

Barbed-wire fence at home next to elementary sparks concerns Parents, city say fence at Iowa City home poses danger IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG) - A barbed-wire fence that stood along a sidewalk next to Lucas Elementary School in Iowa City has been removed after the city said it was a public safety hazard. The fence was along a home at the corner of Muscatine Avenue and Southlawn Drive, next to the path children use to walk to Lucas Elementary and Willowind School. Allison Offerman lives in the neighborhood with her two children. She said her son uses the sidewalk next to the home to get to school. “It makes me worried. I have a son who’s autistic and he doesn’t always pay attention to his surroundings,” Offerman said. Offerman said the fence created a new hazard. “It would be really easy for him to get snagged, have no idea what’s going on and get more hurt than it just passing by,” she said. Neighbor Justin Delaney also raised concerns about the fence. “It’s just not safe and this fence was something that did not need to happen,” Delaney said. Homeowner cites safety, vandalism The homeowner told TV-9 the fence was put up for safety. They said children had been walking along the ledge on their property and that their home and white picket fence had been vandalized. The homeowner said the city was contacted about those concerns. The homeowner did not want to go on camera but told TV-9 they have dealt with home vandalism for years. TV-9 asked neighbors about the vandalism described, and they said they have never seen any. City orders fence removed The city said the fence was in the public right-of-way and called it a public safety hazard. The city said staff worked with the homeowner to have it removed. City guidelines also require a permit for barbed-wire fences. By Tuesday afternoon, the fence was taken down. “I think the city made the right decision in asking her to take it down,” Offerman said. The homeowner told TV-9 they still have concerns about children on their property. Neighbors said they were surprised the fence went up in the first place. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” Offerman said. Copyright 2026 KCRG. All rights reserved.
