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.
