MEMO PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
CITY OF AMES
TO: Mayor Curtis and City Council
FROM: Scott Logan, City Traffic Engineer
DATE: March 3, 1997
SUBJECT: Crystal Street Parking Prohibitions
Included on the March 4th's agenda is staffs recommendation to prohibit parking along the
north and west sides of Crystal Street due to concerns expressed by residents. This
weekend, residents along Crystal Street discussed this measure with each other and
believed that they wanted to have parking prohibitions on the south side of Crystal, instead
of the north. This measure was changed to coincide with the parking activities along the
street. Since several of the residents along the north side utilize the on-street parking
much more than others on the south side, they believed that this change would be more
accommodating. This was also desired by residents on the south side of the street, who
did not want their neighbor's vehicles parked in front of their properties for extended
periods. This change would not adversely impact safety or traffic flow along the street.
Residents along both sides of Crystal have been contacted and are in agreement with this
change.
