Topics getting the most attention in Manteca public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
5 issues in roads with medium priority
Yosemite Avenue traffic, lane configuration, and bicycle facilities
Commissioners debated whether the aging four-lane former Highway 120 should be narrowed for traffic calming as development intensifies; engineering said lanes will stay but a required raised median and a separated Class IV bike lane will improve safety.
Citywide Speed Limit Updates
Speed limits on certain city streets could change based on an updated traffic and engineering survey — affecting every driver's daily commute.

Six residential streets across Districts 1, 2, and 3 were slated for speed lumps to slow cut-through traffic in neighborhoods.

Major paving happened in 2025 — Main Street bike and ped, Diamond Oaks, Shasta, Wawona — with a 2026 pavement program planned for two more areas. Council members agreed road repair will be a decades-long effort.
Fixed Route Transit Redesign
A proposed five-route network adds direct crosstown service, syncs with high school bells, adds a Sierra High tripper, and extends coverage to Lathrop Road — reaching about 9,000 more residents. Council was supportive and asked for a food bank stop.
