(Cumming, IA) — Residents who live in the area where a potential new bridge could be built by the City of West Des Moines are speaking out against the plan. “A hundred and twenty-foot right-of-way for these boulevards will likely significantly impact and disrupt local residents,” said Theresa Benskin, resident of the Maffitt Lake area. She says her family’s property was part of an earlier plan for building a bridge in 2010 that fell through. “Regardless of where you put this bridge, you’re going to have disruption of federally designated wetlands. Significant upland and bottomland deforestation,” Benskin said, “depending on where these bridges go, there’s also proximity to water reservoirs that are important to our city.”
