Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Manteca public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Speed lumps on Crom Street
Residents pushed for 25 mph on Chrome Street near Stella Brockman school; state law required 30 mph based on crash data. The 30 mph limit now qualifies the street for speed lumps, which residents plan to petition for.
ADA sidewalk and curb ramp compliance
A longtime resident catalogued roughly 35 alleged ADA Title II violations and threatened formal grievances, citing sidewalks, park equipment and the golf course.
Manteca Transit Fixed-Route Redesign
The four-route bus system gets replaced with five simpler, more direct routes starting October 1, with earlier 5:30 a.m. service and a new early ACE train connection. Council praised expanded school and senior access.
District 4 street conditions
A young District 4 homeowner spoke twice, saying his neighborhood's roads are full of deep potholes and cracks while other districts get skate parks and splash pads. Council members pointed to the Yosemite Avenue project and past work on Lathrop Road and Main Street, and Morowit invited him to tour the area together.
Airport Way Widening Project
The city awarded a nearly $2 million engineering contract to design the Airport Way Widening Project from Daniels Street to Waterfall Way.
Woodward Avenue closure hurting local businesses
A local business told the council the Woodward Avenue closure has cost businesses significant money with no reopening date posted. Staff said a four-way stop interim solution could open within two weeks pending railroad and state approvals.
