COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: STREET NAME AND SPEED LIMIT CHANGES FOR UNIVERSITY
BOULEVARD IN THE BURGASON ANNEXATION AREA
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Burgason Annexation area, the southern extension of University Boulevard
from Cottonwood Road south approximately 2.520 feet is now completely within the City
limits of Ames and under the City's jurisdiction. This roadway is designated in Story
County as S. 5301h Avenue and needs to be renamed "University Boulevard" now that it
is under City jurisdiction.
This section of S. 530th Avenue, per Iowa Code 321 .285(3), currently has a speed limit of
55 MPH. This speed limit needs to be appropriately modified for the developing land use.
The new speed limits will be 45 MPH from the south corporate limits to 465' south of
Collaboration place and 35 MPH speed limit to 650' north of Airport Road/Oakwood Road.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . a) Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to change the name of S 5301"
Avenue to University Boulevard to the south corporate limits.
b) Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to establish a 45 MPH speed
limit on University Boulevard from the south corporate limits to 465' south of
Collaboration place, and establish a 35 MPH speed limit on University
Boulevard from 465' south of Collaboration Place to 650' north of Airport
Road / Oakwood Road.
2 Direct staff to explore other alternatives to the street name and speed limit
changes.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By approving this ordinance. the City will integrate this segment of University Boulevard
into the City's network and establish the appropriate naming and 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.
