On Sept 17, 2018, our city lost Celia Barquin Arozamena. An accomplished ISU student athlete, Celia was kind, compassionate & beautiful. She was killed in a senseless act of violence. We honor Celia's memory this week w/yellow lights along US 30 - her favorite color. 💛🏌️‍♀️💛 #cba

Power outage update: A raccoon got into a transformer at Ames Power Plant substation and opened up a number of circuits. About 1,000 customers out. Crews are on site and closing things back. Power should be restored within the hour. Sadly, the raccoon is no longer with us. 🦝

A little bit of good news! We have power to a substation pushing out some electricity that is helping power up some traffic lights. Also, this power can be used to help energize the Ames Power Plant. This is a small, but positive step, towards getting customers back. 💡💡🔌💡

🚧🌈Welch & Chamberlain will close 7am Thursday, July 21, to 8am Friday, July 22, to add inclusive crosswalks to the intersection. Similar to Fifth & Douglas, the new crosswalk will provide a visual way of demonstrating the City’s efforts to make all people feel welcome in Ames.

While we don’t want to be overly optimistic, sometime this afternoon is possible for the section of Ridgewood Avenue between 9th and 13th. Fingers crossed 🤞

Ames Municipal Cemetery is so grateful for citizens who picked up downed branches and pulled debris to the roadsides. These helpful volunteers allowed us to provide funeral services w/o taking staff away from recovery work. So many kind-hearted people out there! ❤️ ❤️
