Alley vacation off Wilmington and Elm Avenues near 827 East
Discussed
A second petition would vacate another alley segment and divide it among abutting owners on Wilmington and Elm Avenues. Staff said fences and grade changes already make it impassable to vehicles, vehicle access to properties closer to 900 East would not change, and planning recommended approval. Members asked what would happen if the petition were denied and about access; the applicant said the alley is not needed for getting around because TRAX is a block away, and owners on both sides favored the vacation.
