    Ankeny is building a new "glow trail"

    Ankeny will build a 425-foot concrete "glow trail" to connect to the east side of the High Trestle Trail south of Uptown, city officials announced Monday.

    Why it matters: The High Trestle Trail is already a must-visit on the Madrid end. The new installation could boost the trail's Ankeny side as a tourist attraction as well.


    The big picture: The "glow trail" is just one part of the city's new "High Trestle Trail Experience Park" project that includes new amenities and art projects.

    • A $20,000 grant from Bravo Greater Des Moines will help fund the glow trail, which is part of the project's first phase.
    • Construction is expected to begin late summer and finish by spring 2025.
