Help shape the City of Mankato by sharing what matters most to you. Share ideas and priorities because community input is important when making City decisions.

EVERY VOICE MANKATO

The Mankato Department of Public Safety is proposing technology enhancements to improve safety, streamline investigations, and maximize overall law enforcement efficiency. These enhancements build upon existing practices by integrating new technology into current infrastructure, rather than creating an entirely new system.

Community Safety and Technology

The City of Mankato&#39;s Climate Action Plan will be a roadmap - a community-wide plan - to reduce local contributions to the causes of climate. Throughout this process, the City will be looking for opportunities to take actions, such as, decreasing emissions from buildings and transportation. The overall intended benefit is the improvement of indoor and outdoor air quality through a reduction in contributions to climate change. The Climate Action Plan, which is funded through a grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), has several phases:<ul><li>Community Engagement</li><li>Transportation Assessment</li><li>Ecosystem Assessment</li><li>Community Resiliency and Vulnerability Evaluation</li><li>Infrastructure Energy and Efficiency Assessment</li><li>Community Health Assessment</li><li>Community Economic Assessment</li><li>Final Report</li></ul>We want your input as we work through the phases in the coming months. We need input from residents, businesses, organizations and stakeholders who are interested in contributing to the development of the Climate Action Plan. There will be several opportunities to get involved.

Mankato Climate Action Plan

The Hilltop Planning Area Study is designed to identify the vision and direction for future development in the hilltop neighborhood (the area bound by Madison Avenue, Victory Drive, Main Street and the bluff line west of Crocus Street). The study will evaluate neighborhood recommendations and concerns, existing issues and future land use plans.The City of Mankato is seeking input from neighborhood property owners, organizations/businesses, residents and general interested parties to provide direction for the area study and the vision of the hilltop neighborhood.

This study will use MAPO&rsquo;s corridor planning process, leveraging previous evaluations, stakeholder input, and public engagement. The outcome will create a guiding vision for the future, ensuring Balcerzak Drive meets the diverse needs of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users while aligning transportation goals. The study is expected to be completed in December 2025. Considering that the City of Mankato is a primary MAPO partner, City resources such as Every Voice Mankato are shared to engage the public and achieve the best outcomes possible. <h2>Study Focus:</h2><ul><li>Address current transportation challenges</li><li>Enhance multimodal connectivity</li><li>Plan for future growth and development </li></ul><h2>What will the study include? </h2><div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW147036299 BCX8"><div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW147036299 BCX8"><ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW147036299 BCX8"><li aria-setsize="-1" class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW147036299 BCX8" data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="" data-list-defn-props='{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}' data-listid="3">Comprehensive Analysis: An in-depth review of existing conditions, such as traffic patterns, safety concerns, and the current state of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. </li><li>Alternatives Development: Exploration and evaluation of various improvement scenarios, including changes to lane configurations, intersection controls, and access management. </li></ul></div><div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW147036299 BCX8"><ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW147036299 BCX8"><li aria-setsize="-1" class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW147036299 BCX8" data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="3" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="" data-list-defn-props='{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}' data-listid="3">Multimodal Enhancements: Recommendations for improving pedestrian and bicycle facilities, ensuring safe and convenient access for all users. </li></ul></div><div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW147036299 BCX8"><ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW147036299 BCX8"><li aria-setsize="-1" class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW147036299 BCX8" data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="4" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="" data-list-defn-props='{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}' data-listid="3">Transit Improvements: Assessment and enhancement of transit stops and services along the corridor to better serve the community. </li></ul></div><div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW147036299 BCX8"><ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW147036299 BCX8"><li aria-setsize="-1" class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW147036299 BCX8" data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="5" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="" data-list-defn-props='{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}' data-listid="3">Implementation Plan: A prioritized list of projects with potential funding sources, guiding the transition from planning to execution. </li></ul></div><div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW147036299 BCX8"><ul><li class="Paragraph SCXW147036299 BCX8">Policy Alignment: Ensuring that the recommendations align with local, state, and federal policies and plans, including the integration with the City&#39;s broader transportation and land use strategies. </li></ul></div></div><div class="ListContainerWrapper SCXW147036299 BCX8"><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW219753171 BCX8"><h2 aria-level="2" class="Paragraph SCXW219753171 BCX8">Get involved:</h2></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW219753171 BCX8">There are multiple opportunities for you to provide input on the future of Balcerzak Drive. <ul><li class="Paragraph SCXW219753171 BCX8"><a class="fr-strong" href="https://everyvoice.mankatomn.gov/balcerzak/surveys/balcerzak-drive-corridor-study">Take the survey</a></li><li class="Paragraph SCXW219753171 BCX8">Attend an Open House</li><li class="Paragraph SCXW219753171 BCX8">Attend a Pop Up event (Watch for updates of where we are popping up next!)</li></ul><hr><h2><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/d6a2c293d5a2bac6b55126b84ad1271edcbe9cbf/original/1744407469/d166d4a05c4132dd3f0b21a4a87be69a_Bolton%20%20Menk%20Submittal_MAPO_Balcerzak%20Drive%20Corridor%20Study%208.jpg?1744407469" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-fir">Balcerzak Drive Background</h2>Balcerzak Drive is one of four east-west minor arterials* serving the Mankato Hilltop area. It connects other significant minor arterials, including Warren Street and Victory Drive/Highway 82. Currently, Balcerzak Drive operates as a four-lane undivided corridor with a daily traffic volume of approximately 8,100-8,700 vehicles and a posted speed limit of 40 mph.There are also multiple transit routes in the area: <ul><li>Routes 1, 8, 14, between Warren Street and Monks Avenue</li><li>Routes 10, 11, between Monks Avenue and Victory Drive</li></ul>The corridor has undergone incremental changes over time, such as lane narrowing at both the Warren Street and Victory Drive intersections. Additionally, the Balcerzak/Pohl Road intersection was studied in 2016. A roundabout was recommended at that time as a potential improvement.*Arterial - A major road designed to carry high volumes of traffic, connecting different areas of a city or region, often with multiple lanes and intersections with signals.<hr><h2>What is MAPO?</h2></div><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/cba1170bebbf40c7e8b12ef0605d614ae7e2d1d0/original/1744406309/28f4a4aa893907022b2e7c188b3d4919_MAPO%20Logo%20Color.png?1744406309" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-fir">The Mankato/North Mankato Area Planning Organization (MAPO) is responsible for regional transportation planning throughout the Greater Mankato area. This includes pedestrian, bicycle, transit, auto, rail, and air transportation. The organization was established in 2012 following the 2010 Census that designated the region as an urbanized area, requiring the formation of such a planning organization.MAPO continually produces a wide range of studies, plans, and recommendations to improve transportation throughout the area. The organization is located at the Intergovernmental Center, 10 Civic Center Plaza, Mankato and is staffed by executive director Mark Konz and transportation planner Chris Talamantez.<h3>Which government entities are included in MAPO?</h3><table style="width: 100%;"><thead><tr><th>Cities</th><th>Counties</th><th>Townships</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="width: 33.3333%; vertical-align: top; text-align: left;"><ul><li>Mankato</li><li>North Mankato</li><li>Eagle Lake</li><li>Skyline</li></ul></td><td style="width: 33.3333%;"><ul><li>Blue Earth</li><li>Nicollet</li></ul></td><td style="width: 33.3333%;"><ul><li>Belgrade</li><li>LeRay</li><li>Mankato Township</li><li>South Bend</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
