The Manteca Council Twilight Zone & building the 5th fire station
Placeholder Image
Every Manteca City Council candidate says it: Public safety is priority one.That, of course, is with a couple of caveats. The city needs to act fiscally responsible as well as provide other services.That said the current council is about to repeat history by referencing the wrong history when it comes to the fifth fire station planned for where Atherton Drive curves south to intersect Woodward Avenue in southeast MantecaCouncil members are haunted — rightfully so — by stories of past city mistakes. One example that is repeatedly held up is how the city built the Louise Avenue fire station in the mid-1980s but it sat empty for several years because Manteca lacked the funding to staff it.
