The Ames Police Department invites residents to join in identifying safety hazards at the annual Campustown Safety Walk scheduled for 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, at the Intermodal Facility, 129 Hayward Ave. The event is designed to partner City officials, students, and residents in an effort to identify issues such as burned out street lights, tripping hazards, and other safety concerns in the heavily pedestrian Campustown neighborhood. Participants will be briefed on the procedures for the walk and then split into groups to each cover a particular area in Campustown to identify safety concerns.

There will be flashlights, bug spray, and snacks provided. The walk should be completed by 9:30 p.m.

For more information, contact Officer Kruger at 515.239.5432 or kkruger@cityofames.org.
