The Des Moines City Council approves two initiatives aimed at improving the city's bike trails.
The Council approved a Parks and Rec Department proposal that will connect the Easter Lake Spine Trail in Des Moines to the Carlisle Nature Trail.
A separate project approved by the City Council will repair the Beaver Creek Bridge in Johnston, which was damaged by flooding in 2019. Funding will come from $200,000 the City Council has agreed to donate. The Beaver Creek Bridge is part of the High Trestle Trail.
