Manhattan residents can stroll around with an alchoholic beverage within a boundary downtown starting on Third Thursday.

As previously reported, the Manhattan City Commission on June 17 voted 3-2 to establish the year-round common consumption area, referred to by downtown officials as the “outdoor refreshment area.”

The CCA will be an established boundary that will allow visitors to purchase alcoholic beverages from participating businesses and freely roam about from business to business.

“So 365 days of the year in this designated zone, on Poyntz from Third Street to Fifth Street and on north and south Fourth to the alleys and north and south Fifth to the alleys, you can consume alcohol in a plastic container purchased by our participating restaurants, and you can walk around,” Gina Snyder, executive director of Downtown Manhattan Inc. said.

Manhattan city commissioners on Tuesday will consider a common consumption area (CCA) ordinance that would allow consumption of alcohol from licensed establishments within a particular boundary. They’re having a special legislative meeting in place of the scheduled work session.

The proposal follows a Sept. 24 work session involving city, Aggieville and Downtown business association officials, as well as the Riley County Police Department and Kansas Alcohol Beverage Control. Downtown Business Association officials have drafted an approach for an ongoing common consumption area daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The proposed boundary would be surrounding Poyntz Avenue businesses between Third and Fifth Street as well as a north-south boundary along Third and Fourth Street from Houston Street north to the alleyway between Poyntz and Humboldt.
