Mr. Witszak had requested, through Councilman Kopczynski, the opening of the east -west alleys between Irvington and Victoria, east of Kaley. Mr. Farrand noted that the northern most of these locations would require the removal of some tree cover if opened, and the southern most of these would pose a potential drainage problem as well as possible damage to property owner improvements. He informed Mr. Witszak that construction for streets and alleys is a developer or property owner reponsibility and this could be accomplished as a Barrett Law project. Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the report was ordered filed.
