Staff and the project consultant will present the study findings to the Ames Area MPO Transportation Policy Committee at its meeting on Tuesday, July 18, 2023 at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers.

The north side of Ames is growing. The city has undertaken a study to understand the traffic needs for 190^th Street from GW Carver to US 69/Grand Avenue both now and in the future. The study will look at volumes, crashes, access, trail/sidewalk connectivity, and proposed developments to provide a path forward for corridor improvements.

Understanding these needs will support community growth and help strengthen the connections between the developing neighborhoods on the north and south sides of 190th Street to recreational, regional, and educational amenities in the area.
