Enhanced Intersection Crossing: CR 24, 16th and Grand - City of Ames

Multi-modal transportation refers to the various modes used by Ames residents to travel the transport system. The modes specifically addressed in this program include bicycling and automobiles. This program is aimed at improving the roadway to create a safer interaction between these modes using alternatives such as improved crossing visibility at intersections, bike detection, and on-street facilities (e.g. bike lanes, sharrows). Bike lanes consist of a portion of the roadway designated by striping, signing, and pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use of bicyclists. Sharrows, also known as shared lane markings, are markings used in lanes shared by bicycles and motor vehicles when a travel lane is too narrow to provide a standard width bike lane. Bike detection improvements include retrofitting signalized intersections to radar detection to facilitate the movement of bicycles. These improvements retrofit the existing street to provide a useful and appropriate route of travel for these popular modes used by Ames residents. The proposed locations and treatments that are identified in the LongRange Transportation Plan (LRTP) will be noted by project numbers (e.g. ON15) from the LRTP. The 2023/24 scope includes CR 24, 16th and Grand). The project is included in the city's 2021/2022-2025/2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of October 25, 2021, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
