RESOLUTION APPROVING REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH IOWA
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (IDOT) IN CONJUNCTION WITH ITS
WIDENING PROJECT AT THE 290TH STREET BRIDGE OVER I-35
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) is preparing to widen
Interstate 35 in Polk County south of the Skunk River. Among other work, IDOT will be
replacing the bridge at 290th Street; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Ames owns a 161kV electric transmission line that extends
from Ames to Ankeny east of I-35. This line is directly adjacent the interstate at this bridge
crossing, and therefore the line must be relocated to accommodate the roadway
improvements; and,
WHEREAS, Ames’ 161kV line is located in a private easement, so a new
easement will also be needed for this relocation, which IDOT is acquiring on behalf of
Ames as part of its overall widening and right-of-way acquisition effort.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that Reimbursement Agreement with Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) in
conjunction with its widening project at the 290th Street bridge over I-35 is hereby
approved.
