The Ames City Council, in collaboration with Iowa State University’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, pursued a custom-designed crosswalk as part of the City’s efforts to make all people feel welcome in Ames.
The crosswalks on Douglas Avenue now feature a minority-inclusive pride rainbow. The crosswalk on Fifth Street to the east features gender non-binary pride colors, and the crosswalk on Fifth Street to the west features transgender pride colors.
“We encourage citizens to join us at this celebration of inclusion and diversity,” said Mayor John Haila. “This crosswalk is a small but visual way of demonstrating that we are a community that respects and appreciates all people.”

On Tuesday, Nov. 27, a ribbon-cutting event celebrated the completion of the Tripp Street extension.
The project extended Tripp Street from Wilmoth Avenue east to State Avenue. The construction, which began in May, involved new concrete and asphalt street pavement, water main installation, electric infrastructure, and storm water improvements.
The Tripp Street extension was paid for by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and represents the first step in developing the former Ames Middle School site into a mixed-income, single family housing development.
