Des Moines is removing abuffered bike lane onEast Grand Avenue in the East Village and returning on-street parking back to the curb after local business and neighborhood leaders failed to back the pilot project.
The city was scheduled to repaint the street lines on Monday.
The bike lane, which was installed last year between Second and Pennsylvania avenues, was a experimental project to see how drivers and others would respond to moving parking lanes away from the curb and adding bike lanes between parked cars and the sidewalk.
