Manhattan city commissioners considered the future of Aggieville’s road construction, parking availability and trash services during Tuesday’s special meeting.
The next and final part of the city’s 2019 redevelopment plan will be Moro Street’s reconstruction. Along with needed infrastructure upgrades like replacing water lines, city officials are working with the Olsson engineering firm to come up with concepts of what the street’s layout, parking availability and sidewalk space will look like.
Deputy City Manager Jason Hilgers said it’s not possible to leave Moro Street just as it was after construction because of new regulations. The street currently has two 10-feet-wide sidewalks, angled parking, parallel parking and a 15-feet-wide drive lane. The fire code requires a 20-feet-wide drive lane.
