HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Memo from Assistant City Attorney to Traffic Engineer dated January 23, 1997 MEMO CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
CITY OF AMES
TO: Scott Logan, Traffic Engineer
r,
FROM: Judy K. Parks, Assistant City Attorney\�'
DATE: January 23, 1997
SUBJECT: Through Street Designations
You recently send through a Traffic Control Authorization, placing a 4-way stop control
at the intersection of Knapp Street and Hayward Avenue. In reviewing this we found that
Knapp Street is designated as a through street from Sheldon Avenue through Ash Avenue.
Through streets are set out in the Municipal Code in Section 26.62, a copy of which is
attached. As you know, changes to Code sections must be made by ordinance. We have
prepared a proposed ordinance to make this change to the through street designation, a
copy of which is attached. The original ordinance has been sent to the City Clerk for
inclusion on the next agenda. Please prepare the necessary Council Action Form to
accompany it.
Also, it makes sense that maybe all of the "through street" designations should be
reviewed to be sure they are still correct. Please advise when that job can be scheduled,
or call me to discuss alternatives if you feel you are unable to do it.
Encls.
