City commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved an ordinance that allows the city to continue negotiations with the two remaining property owners and, if necessary, proceed with condemnation to secure the land.

“We do have monetary verbal agreements on those two easements with exact details yet to be completed,” public works director Brian Johnson said.

City commissioners meet Tuesday night with a full agenda, including finalizing a survey on a potential indoor aquatics facility.

Previous studies showed a strong desire from the community for indoor aquatics, which only increased with the shuttering of K-State’s Natatorium. City staff have contracted with ETC Institute to design the statistically-valid survey, which they hope will also gauge community support for a broader improvement project at CiCo Park.

Commissioners also will weigh an ordinance allowing condemnation of two properties tied to the Fort Riley Boulevard sidewalk gap project.

Several construction projects are under way across Manhattan this summer, including a pair of projects through residential areas.

In the Northview area, city officials are reminding motorists of a reconstruction project along Walters Drive, near Eisenhower Middle School that will continue to impact traffic.

Stallbaumer Contracting on Tuesday began the project on Walters Drive, between Butterfield and Kirkwood. While that stretch of road will not be fully closed, city officials say it will be subject to shifting lane closures and signed for local traffic only.
