You may have heard Axios reported that plans to rezone the Cooper Creek Mountain Bike Park are being challenged. Neighbors are painting mountain bikers as loud and destructive — all the behaviors that just aren’t true.
Bicycle advocates are needed to contact the Des Moines City Council to respectfully let them know how Cooper Creek Mountain Bike Park will be an asset to the community.
