Manteca is going to the dogs.

And it will cost $100,000 to do so.

A dog park is among $22 million in capital expenditures that are part of the City of Manteca’s proposed $85.5 million overall spending plan for the fiscal year starting July 1. There is also an unfunded project that the city is trying to secure money for to the tune of $2 million. It is for improvements to the current Highway 99 and Austin Road interchange. The dog park was first proposed more than 10 years ago. By the time the city settled on a possible site, the recession hit. If the dog park goes where it was previously proposed it would be located on the northeast corner of Woodward Avenue and Bridewell Avenue. 

Other capital projects include:

• $990,000 for the Moffat Community Center being built on the southwest corner of Moffat and Industrial Park Drive/Spreckels Avenue. It will serve primarily as the home of the Manteca VFW post.

• $250,000 for Americans with Disabilities Act compliant restrooms for the City Council chambers complex.

• $510,000 to upgrade and convert Morenzone Field on Center Street west of Union Road for youth baseball play such as senior Little League. All three Little Leagues — Manteca, Spreckels, and Northgate — plan to use the field.
