A proposal to reshape Manhattan’s waterfront may soon become part of the city’s 20-year strategic plan for the Parks and Recreation Department.

Local stakeholders in the last few years have discussed developing the area around the banks of the Kansas River where it crosses Kansas Highway 177.

City commissioners on Tuesday will review a recommendation from the Manhattan Urban Area Planning Board to incorporate the city’s MoveMHK Master Plan into the city’s comprehensive plan.
