The City Commission reviewed conceptual options for the future reconstruction of Moro Street in Aggieville from 11th Street to N. Manhattan Ave. this week. Four refined concepts were provided within the 60-foot right-of-way between storefronts on Moro that generally feature angled parking on one side of the street, a 20-foot driving lane, and the potential for mid-block pedestrian crossings and other landscaping and pedestrian amenities.
Mayor Susan Adamcheck summarized some of the ideas from the commission including parking on the north with access to a remaining public parking lot, carry through consistency from nearby North Manhattan Avenue and 12th Street, and a desire for some amenities.
Staff anticipates returning to the City Commission with a recommended delivery approach, and a more detailed 30% design of the project with updated cost estimates for the two-block project.
Other points also ranged from the reduction of parking spaces in the two blocks of Moro to the need for a parking lot on the east end. There was also a note that Aggieville is due for a parking upgrade.
