Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen's Council Preview

The Ames City Council begins at 6:00 PM.  The agenda includes:

1. Joint Meeting with Planning and Zoning Commission with Presentation by consultants of Lincoln Way Corridor Draft Plan and direct consultants to proceed on studying focus areas.

The consultants Houseal and Lavigne are presenting a draft plan that highlights five sub-areas along Lincoln Way, and includes current characteristics and concern areas for each district. The proposed focus areas include:

• Downtown Gateway
• Lincoln and Grand
• Oak to Riverside
• Campustown Transition (West of Campus)
• West HyVee Retail Area

The consultants will consider the following elements for improvements in each of the areas: traffic flow, appearance/landscaping, signage, residential housing density, land-use (whether residential, commercial, mixed, etc.)

If you are able, consider attending or tuning into tonight's workshop! Lincoln Way is a vital corridor to Ames, and public input in this process is hugely important.
