Site work and paving for a civil project in Mankato, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; and water / sewer project.

The Germania Park Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) covers an area of Mankato generally bounded by Riverfront Drive, 1st Avenue, Trunk Highway 14 (TH 14), and the Minnesota River. The existing subsurface of this area is predominantly bedrock, which has limited the development to smaller residential developments and industrial businesses. Most of the city-owned infrastructure is original and dates 50 to 75 years in age, with the exception of Pine Street and a few residential streets on the east side of 3rd Avenue. In 2011, Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. was retained by the City of Mankato to develop a master plan for the Germania Park area. This plan originally envisioned the improvements starting in 2015. Due to funding priorities within the Community Investment Plan these projects were delayed until 2019. The roads proposed for improvement in 2022 include: 6th Avenue from Harper Street to Cleveland Street; 5th Avenue from Harper Street to Cleveland Street; 4th Avenue from Harper Street to Lind Street; and Lind Street from 6th Avenue to 3rd Avenue.
