Pre-RFPInfrastructure & MaintenanceDetected May 20, 2026

The Village of Manlius Planning Board recommended approval of a special use permit for Steig’s Grillhouse to add outdoor patio seating at 228 E. Seneca Street, contingent on safety-related site improvements. The Board specifically recommended installing bollards and/or planters around the seating area and eliminating parking and striping in an easement area to maintain EMS access, assuming the applicant has legal rights to alter the easement.These recommendations imply upcoming small-scale site work, safety hardware, and outdoor furnishings procurement by the restaurant owner or property manager rather than the Village. For vendors that sell outdoor seating, protective bollards, planters, striping removal, or minor site construction services, this signals a near-term project where code compliance and emergency access considerations will influence design and product selection.

The Planning Board only makes a recommendation; final approval and any conditions will be set by the Village Board before work proceeds.
