• Zone 3 – Blueville Nursery Inc. will start at Anderson and Denison, proceeding northwest (K-State campus will not be included).

• Zone 4 – Garibay Lawn Care and Landscaping will start around Eisenhower Middle School and proceed southeast.

• Zone 5 – City of Manhattan Public Works will start southwest of Sunset Zoo, then proceed east through the Westwood area and into the Ward districts.
