Thieves stole copper wiring to the Jackson Street Bridge last week, leaving it without lights.
Why it matters: The downtown Des Moines pedestrian bridge along Meredith Trail is one of central Iowa's most traveled recreational connections.
State of play: DSM Parks and Recreation staff reported the damage to police late last week but the specific date and time of the theft is unknown, Sgt. Paul Parizek tells Axios.
- There were no suspects as of Monday and city staff were still working to assess the damage, he said.
