The project consulting team of Stantec and BBN Architects have started a third round of public engagement for the East Manhattan Gateway Plan project on behalf of the City of Manhattan, and are looking for resident input.
The East Manhattan Gateway Plan is a corridor and area plan for the area extending along the U.S. Highway 24 corridor from the Manhattan Town Center entrance to Hopkins Creek Road. The study area also includes the “McCall Triangle” and undeveloped greenfield surrounding existing residential development in the Green Valley area.
The project was initiated in early 2023 and is expected to conclude with the adoption of a plan by fall 2025. The plan will be developed by Stantec, the City’s consultant for the project, which will address many planning-related topics including future development, transportation, public infrastructure (sewer, water, and stormwater), floodplain, parks and open spaces, market analysis, and emergency services.
Consultants will be allowing drop-ins at Peace Memorial Hall until next Wednesday Nov. 27 from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. and then from Monday Dec. 2 to Friday Dec. 6 at the Bank of the Flint Hills in the 7800 block of East Highway 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
