Connecting Ingersoll Bike Lanes to Grey's Lake: A Thought on Them

Hello, all

So, I feel like this is an important, missing link for the connectivity of des moines needs. Currently, to use the Ingersoll Bike Lanes, to get to Grey's lake or vice versa, your best bet if going east is to turn onto 17th, then left onto locust until you reach 15th/16th and then you can go down 15th to hook up to MLK.

15th is a pretty terrible biking experience, sure not much traffic usually exists there, but I hate going over the rail road tracks there. Plus, crossing MLK can be pretty dangerous.

In the link, here, I provide what i think can be done about it with further commentary on how it can happen and some obstacles along the way.

I wonder if others have had similar thoughts, know of proposed plans before that were suggested, plans in the works, and the like. Seeing how Fleur has a crossing going over the river, I feel like this was perhaps the beginning phase of this exact thing I am talking about. Did some digging around to the best of my abilities, but came up short. So calling anyone who I can reach out to about this, or any further information about a project like this taking shape.

Thank you for reading up on this, and I really feel like this idea can be super useful and beneficial.
