More than a dozen people voiced their concerns to the Des Moines City Council last night about the future of Franklin Field. There are two acres of green space off Franklin and 52nd in northwest Des Moines, right next to the community garden and trail, and part of Glendale Cemetery. A proposal is on the table for low-income housing for seniors there. The city council had to vote on if this land was considered "excess," meaning it could be sold off. There was much discussion, but the council decided it was excess, which allows the senior community to move forward.
