Shared Use Path Construction To Link to Hunziker Youth Sports

Published on April 08, 2025

Work will begin tomorrow (Wednesday, April 9) to construct a shared use path from Billy Sunday Road in south Ames to the Hunziker Youth Sports Complex, 800 Billy Sunday Road.

The work will take place near the Ames Dog Park, 605 Billy Sunday Road but access to the dog park will not be impacted. Due to the proximity of the construction, dog park users should use caution in the area.

Construction of the shared use path should take four to six weeks, weather permitting. The City of Ames has hired Howrey Construction to complete this project.

For more information about the project, contact Mark Gansen, Civil Engineer II, at mark.gansen@cityofames.org or 515.239.5291. For general construction updates, go to www.CityOfAmes.org/Construction.
