TO: John Klaus & Bob Kindred
FROM: Paul D. Wiegand, Public Works Director ��
DATE: March 23, 1990
SUBJECT: Ames High Drive
Per your request, I have had the City Clerk compile the records relating
to the dedication of Ames High Drive from the school system to the City.
These items are attached.
Although not specifically stated, it appears that the presence of the joint
use swimming pool may have been one of the reasons why the City accept-
ed the street in 1973. It should be noted that the street was about 10
years old at that time since the school was built and opened around 1963.
Our 1965 aerial photos show the paved drive.
Currently the City regulates parking as well as having the Ames Police
Department enforce the parking regulations. The snow plowing is complet-
ed by the City Public Works Department.
The street itself is in severe need of repair. It is scheduled for resurfac-
ing this summer.
Let me know if you have any questions.
