City officials will review and discuss results of a recent community survey at Tuesday’s Manhattan City Commission legislative meeting.
Over 11,000 households took the survey which gauges resident satisfaction with city services, quality of life and potential support for future projects. Some of the highlights include a 90% satisfaction with quality of life, 84% satisfaction with the quality of parks. Around 78% support or strongly support development of an indoor aquatics center and 81% support or strongly support rehabilitation of existing homes for workforce housing.
The survey also found residents divided on options for Moro Street in Aggieville, with 42% supporting closure of street traffic for a pedestrian plaza, 33% supporting some traffic and parking and 15% supporting keeping traffic, but eliminating on-street parking.
Tonight’s agenda also includes a public hearing to consider vacating a public utility easement, an amendment to a planned unit development for non-owner-occupied short term rentals, and a memorandum of understanding with the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation to create a new Manhattan Parks and Recreation Foundation Fund.
City commissioners meet at 6 p.m. in City Hall.
Manhattan City Manager Ron Fehr and Commissioner Wynn Butler are Tuesday’s In Focus guests on News Radio KMAN.
