Following this, on Nov. 4, North Riverside Drive from North Second to North Third Street will close for pavement replacement, taking two weeks. The City of Ames has contracted with Con-Struct to manage the project, which includes manhole and curb replacements, driveway apron work, and ADA sidewalk ramp updates.
Carr Park Agility Course Plans Move Forward
The City of Ames will present plans for an agility course at Carr Park to the City Council, seeking approval. The course will feature 15 play components, including cargo nets and balance beams, along with a rubber surface and a concrete border. The project, delayed since 2021 due to rising costs and other priorities, is budgeted at $735,000. A restroom facility was cut from the design to stay within budget. If approved, construction will begin in spring 2025.
