The new City of Manteca vehicle maintenance facility that is being built on the southeast corner of South Main and Wetmore streets employs a simple and functional design.The two-tone steel proletarian structure won’t win any architectural contests. Compared, however, to the existing vehicle maintenance building it’s a virtual Taj Mahl.It also oozes with functionality when compared with the existing wood and corrugated metal facility built when Model T Fords were all the rage. The current vehicle maintenance building that’s pushing 90 years old and is located just across the street.The existing facility has two access doors for vehicles.
