Plans Being Finalized For East 20th Street; Reconstruction Planned From Duff To Meadowlane In Ames

Press release from the City of Ames:

February 2, 2021

Ames Public Works is finalizing plans to reconstruct East 20th Street from Duff Avenue to Meadowlane Avenue with work anticipated to begin summer to early fall. Due to the pandemic, there is no public meeting planned for this project. However, a project webpage with maps, video, and details about the reconstruction and information to provide feedback is available at www.CityOfAmes.org/20thStreet

Please submit comments to the webpage by Friday, Feb. 12.

In addition to new sidewalk on the east side of Duff Avenue along Homewood Golf Course, the project includes new concrete street pavement on East 20th Street, storm sewer improvements, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp improvements. The project will be completed in two phases. During construction, access to driveways on 20th Street and side street access will be restricted for safety reasons and to ease potential congestion of the construction zone. Access to Homewood Golf Course will always be maintained. The project is anticipated to be completed in late fall 2021. As with all projects, the actual duration will depend on weather conditions.
