Vision
2 Make downtown and east Manteca
safer, more accessible, and more
inviting to residents, employees,
students, and visitors. Increase
opportunities for walking, bicycling,
and transit use in Manteca, especially
as the new ACE station is developed.
With these multimodal connections,
Manteca’s downtown can grow into a
more mixed-use environment with
housing, offices, shops, and schools.
