Alley vacation near 373 West American Avenue
Discussed
The Council was briefed on a petition to vacate a city-owned alley next to properties at about 373 West American Avenue. Closing the alley would let the owner of three of the four adjacent properties redevelop the site; the fourth owner also supports it. The alley cannot serve as a mid-block connection because the 900 South viaduct lies directly to the south. The applicant and developer described plans for townhomes along the easement to avoid a blank wall. Council Member Mano asked to review the final plan, saying a blank wall makes a hostile walking environment, and wants the easement to become a friendlier public walkway.
