Complete Streets Plan

Complete Streets are for everyone, no matter who they are or how they travel

About the Complete Streets Plan

The 2017-18 Traffic Studies Capital Improvement Project funding is dedicated to the development of a Complete Streets Plan. The City of Ames contracted with Toole Design Group to facilitate the development of a plan that considered all transportation for everyone, no matter who they are or how they travel. The process included a Technical Advisory Group as well as a Community Advisory Group that helped to shape the plan. Throughout development, public input meetings were held to provide opportunities for the public to review work and give feedback.
