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 greenfields 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.
