Des Moines council to consider bike path funds

Des Moines may get another street with designated bike lanes. Last year, Des Moines re-striped several blocks of Ingersoll by reducing it from four lanes to three and adding bike lanes. The same plans are in the works for Hubbell Avenue. City Council will vote today to ask the Department of Transportation for the funds for Hubbell Avenue. The project is estimated at $390,000. The city hopes the DOT will pay for all but $60,000. This corridor is one of the priority spots for the city's master bicycle and trail plan.
