Des Moines to build sidewalks along Easter Lake Drive

Data: City of Des Moines; Map: Axios Visuals

Sidewalks are coming to Easter Lake Drive as part of a project that starts next year.

Why it matters: Public safety. It's a busy street in a growing residential area of DSM.

  • It'll also provide a more direct connection between Ewing and Easter Lake parks via a 10-foot-wide sidewalk.

"Walking" the news: The city council approved a contract for the project's design this week.

  • The city has budgeted $2.2 million for the 1.5-mile project.
  • Anticipated completion is in 2024.
