ITEM 16 & 17
DATE: 8-18
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: NAME CHANGES AND SPEED LIMITS IN EAST INDUSTRIAL AREA
BACKGROUND:
As part of the East Annexation area, these segments of Story County roads are now
within the City limits of Ames and under the City's jurisdiction:
Lincoln Highway - Interstate 35 to 590th Avenue
566th Avenue — Lincoln Highway south approximately 2620'
580th Avenue — approximate 2660' south of Lincoln Highway to approximately 2590'
north of Lincoln Highway (to the UPRR)
590th Avenue — Lincoln Highway to approximately 2180' north (to the UPRR)
These sections of Lincoln Highway, 566th Avenue, 580th Avenue, and 590th Avenue
per Iowa Code 321.285(3) currently have limit speeds of 55 MPH. Since these
roadways were under the jurisdiction of Story County, there is not a City
ordinance setting the speed limit along them. They will be appropriately modified for
the developing industrial land use.
As a part of these streets being incorporated into the City's greater street
network, the names will change to be in accordance with the City's Administrative
Program for Street Naming and Addressing. The street naming theme for this area is
leading scientists. Therefore, an ordinance will be required to rename these street
segments as follows (also see attached map):
• Lincoln Highway (1-35 — 590th Avenue) to East Lincoln Way
• 566th Avenue (Lincoln Highway— south) to Fleming Avenue
• 580th Avenue (Lincoln Highway— north) to Teller Avenue
• 580th Avenue (Lincoln Highway— south) to South Teller Avenue
• 590th Avenue (Lincoln Highway - north) to Potter Avenue
This will promote consistent addressing and provide clarity for E911 response.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. a) Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to change the name of Lincoln
Highway to East Lincoln Way (from Interstate 35 east to 590th Avenue) to East
Lincoln Way; change the name of 566th Avenue to Fleming Avenue; change 580th
Avenue to Teller Avenue and South Teller Avenue; change 590th Avenue to
Potter Avenue.
b) Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to establish a 55 MPH speed limit
on East Lincoln Way (Lincoln Highway) from Interstate 35 east to the east
corporate limits; establish a 45 MPH speed limit on Fleming Avenue (566tn
Avenue); establish a 55 MPH speed limit on Teller Avenue and South Teller
Avenue (580th Avenue); establish a 55 MPH speed limit on Potter Avenue (590tn
Avenue).
2. Direct staff to explore other alternatives to the street naming and speed limits.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By approving this ordinance, the City will integrate East Industrial area roads into the
City's network and establish the appropriate operating speeds, thereby promoting safe
and efficient travel in this area of Ames. The adjacent landowners are aware their
address will be changed in accordance with the City's addressing grid for E911
purposes and have been informed about this proposed action by City Council.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as noted above.
