Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Mandan public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Fringe Area Road Master Plan update
The 2027-2030 plan update guides future road improvements in the areas surrounding Mandan, adopted jointly through the Bismarck-Mandan MPO.
Street Improvement District 244 (8th/27th Phase II)
The city created the district for a $6.7 million rebuild of 8th Avenue NW and 27th Street. Federal grants and city utility funds cover most of it, so typical special assessments dropped to about $5,000 for adjacent lots — roughly 64% less than the 2022 version. Property owners in the district will get letters about the protest period and a June 25 input meeting at Mandan High School.
14th Street & Collins Avenue intersection trial
The city converted the 14th/Collins intersection from four-way to two-way for the July 4 crowds and is studying real-world traffic data — the trial may be extended because of a nearby water line project.
2026 Street Striping Project Bid Rejection
Only one company bid on Main Street striping, at 25% over estimate. The commission chose to rebid after July 4th, meaning the work likely won't be done before Mandan's 250th anniversary parade — a tradeoff between cost savings and timing.
