City backs off of erosion control because of budget issues

Des Moines has to scale back erosion control because of high costs. Ravine improvements had been aimed at controlling erosion and curbing damage to roads, sewers, and utilities on the west side, but City Council members have voted to reject all of the bids on the project because they exceeded its budget by hundreds of thousands of dollars. The city hasn't abandoned the project, but they'll start from scratch seeking new bids and altering the design of the project.
