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 project area generally has utilities that are 50-75 years old. Sewer is believed to be made of vitrified clay. Vitrified clay is a brittle material susceptible to cracking, joint displacement, root intrusion, and infiltration. The sanitary sewer manholes are of a similar age and likely block or brick built. Due to the age and material build of the sanitary sewer, it is suggested that all sanitary sewer within the project area be reconstructed and replaced with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. The watermain is most likely made of cast iron, which is susceptible to breaking due to deterioration and freezing conditions in colder weather. It is also 6-inch in diameter, which is undersized compared to current standards.
