| 63 | 2022 | House | Cynthia Axne | Axne | Cynthia | A000378 | Democrat | IA | Transportation, Housing and Urban Development | Raccoon River East Pedestrian Bridge | RACCOON RIVER EAST PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE | The Raccoon River East Pedestrian Bridge will connect Raccoon River Park on the north side of the Raccoon River in West Des Moines to Walnut Woods State Park on the south. The bridge will connect the existing 65-mile city trail system on the north to proposed trails and the larger regional trail system south of the river. More broadly, the bridge will provide alternate transportation opportunities for residents living, working, and playing on both sides of the river. It will also enhance the connection of people with nature via an overlook in the middle of the bridge allowing visitors to engage with the river and the natural areas along it from a different perspective. It is a valuable use of taxpayer funds to increase recreational opportunities and access to natural resources, has wide community support, and will increase economic opportunity for the entire region. | PO Box 65320, West Des Moines, IA 50265 | 1000000 |
