In a print article in the Jan. 9 issue of the Eagle Observer entitled "Springtown's council to hear updates on Bredehoeft Road Project," two paragraphs summarizing the controversy should have read:

"The reopening of this spur of Bredehoeft Road and associated changes remain controversial and relate to a years-old dispute over the location of the Aubrey Long Bridge. When the bridge was planned in the years prior to 2012, Karee and Preston Barrett objected to its location near a natural spring on their property. After the bridge was completed, the Barretts blamed associated county road work for causing sinkholes on their property.

"In the years after Preston Barrett was elected mayor and Karee Barett elected to the town council, the council makeup changed and, in the last two-plus years under Mayor Terri Glenn, embarked on a plan to take back portions of a closed street previously narrowed by Springtown and reroute traffic from the bridge away from the Barrett property, though Paul Lemke, mayor in 2014, argues that opening up the closed street as a continuation of Bredehoeft Road would run the roadway past another spring contributing to Flint Creek and into a city park along the creek."
