COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: UPDATE TO SNOW ROUTE ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND:
Modifications to the City of Ames Snow Ordinance were last presented to City Council on
November 11, 2006. In response to extensive efforts by the Public Works Operations
Division to update the snow route maintenance maps, it has been brought to the attention of
staff that there are locations where snow removal is designated to occur that should be
reprioritized as high or low priority areas. The proposed changes originate from minor
adjustments to routes traveled by CyRide buses, as well as modifications that may enhance
the overall efficiency of the snow removal maintenance program.
Staff has coordinated its efforts with members of the Public Works Engineering and
Operations Divisions and CyRide to create a list of streets that need to be modified or
removed from the snow ordinance, as listed below (also see Attachment A).
Removals from existing Municipal Code:
• Cessna Street: From the east line of Country Club Boulevard to the west line Beach
Avenue.
Modify existing Municipal Code to read:
• State Avenue: From its intersection with Lincoln Way, south, to its intersection with
Oakland Road.
• North Loop Drive: From its western terrinus with Airport Road, east, to its eastern
terminus with Airport Road.
• South East 3rd Street: From it intersection with South Duff Avenue, east, to its eastern
terminus.
• South 4th Street: From its intersection with Beach Avenue, east, to its intersection with
South 3rd Street.
• South East 16th Street: From its intersection with South Duff Avenue, east, to its
eastern terminus.
• Storm Street: From its intersection with Hayward Avenue, east, to its intersection with
Welch Avenue.
• 20th Street: From it intersection with Duff Avenue, west, to its western terminus.
• Oakwood Road: From its intersection with State Avenue, east, to its intersection with
Elwood Drive.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance modifying Section 22.9 Snow Routes
Designated of the Municipal Code.
2. Direct staff to make further revisions.
3. Reject the changes.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
This approval will be the final 2006 update to the Snow Route Ordinance. The intent of these
revisions is to maximize the efficiency of snow removal in Ames, thereby providing the
highest level of customer service possible to our residents. These modifications should not
have a negative impact on available on-street parking.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, thereby directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance modifying Section
22.9 Snow Routes Designated of the Municipal Code.
