Dear Scott :
Thank you for your time and advice concerning the traffic flow on
the Ames High School Drive at Ames High School . After continued
discussion here at Ames High School , we are requesting that we re-
turn to the original traffic pattern we had years ago . Specifically ,
we are requesting :
( 1) Two-way traffic on the Ames High Drive from 20th Street
past the high school to Ridgewood Avenue .
(2) Retention of the center island in front of the high
school with no access to the east parking lot from the
west lane in front of the high school .
(3) Retention of the existing FIRE LANE next to the sidewalk
from 20th Street to Ridgewood Avenue .
(4) Installation of NO PARKING ANYTIME signs on all remaining
lanes of the Ames High Drive from 20th Street to Ridgewood
Avenue .
We believe the present traffic and parking situation on the Ames
High Drive is not suitable for easy access of emergency vehicles
to Ames High School and the Municipal Pool . The present parking
policy also poses a pedestrian safety concern .
We further request that surveillance and ticketing of offenders by
the Ames Police be done on a regular daily basis .
Thank you for your help and consideration in this matter .
Sincerely ,
William C . Ripp
Associate Principal
