City officials said the intersection of Skyvue Lane and Stagg Hill Road will remain closed through next week for concrete panel replacement.

Public works officials said this will create smoother access into the new Flint Hills Breadbasket facility, which saw increased traffic levels since opening earlier this year. The Breadbasket will remain accessible via Rosencutter Road to Skyvue.

City officials are reminding Manhattan residents of the annual Spring Cleanup, happening next week.
City crews will be circling neighborhoods between April 7 and April 11, collecting properly bagged and stacked yard waste, tree limbs and branches. Crews will be in different quadrants of the city each day, passing through areas only once to pick up items. No construction debris, household trash or hazardous materials will be collected. Crews will not enter private property, so residents should have their items placed near the curb.
Pickup areas are as follows:
  • Monday, April 7 — areas south of Anderson and west of Westwood
  • Tuesday, April 8 — areas north of Anderson and west of Seth Child
  • Wednesday, April 9 — all areas north of Anderson Avenue, between Seth Child Road and North Manhattan Avenue
  • Thursday, April 10 — all areas north of Ratone/Ehlers, east of North Manhattan Avenue and Tuttle Creek Boulevard
  • Friday, April 11 — all areas south of Anderson Avenue, between Westwood and North Manhattan Avenue, and all areas southeast of North Manhattan Avenue and Ratone/Ehlers
