Ames City Council gets pedestrian safety study

The Ames City Council got a report Tuesday night on the second phase of a pedestrian traffic safety study in Campustown. Consultant Bill Troe says the city could improve the 35 percent compliance rate at the Welch Ave. and Lincoln Way intersection by taking out a raised median. He also says the city should consider making improvements and installing a crosswalk at the heavily used Lincoln Way and Stanton Ave. intersection.
