Ames secures property for 13th and Grand intersection expansion
Ames has acquired one of the two properties it needs to expand a busy intersection. To help tame traffic at the Grand Ave. and 13th Street intersection, Ames is planning to construct four left-turn lanes, expanding the streets in all directions to three lanes. The project will also include a new traffic signal and a shared-use path that runs along the west side of Grand Avenue. The plan requires the city to purchase and demolish Ames Seventh Day Adventist Church at 1303 Grand Ave. and a residential duplex property at 1302 Harding Ave . Multiple temporary easements are also needed. On Oct. 29, the Ames City Council approved a purchase agreement for the Harding Ave. property for $233,000. The cost does not include the $21,000 needed to relocate the tenants that live there, Ames Civil Engineer Mark Gansen said. Five temporary easements were also approved for four properties in the 1300 block of Grand Ave. and one in the 700 block of 12th Street, bringing the total purchase amount to $285,722.
