The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. The vacation would not hinder the use of a public right-of--way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. Community and Economic Development stated that the north/south alley is okay for vacation. However, the residence at 2525 Linden appears to have a garage on and uses the east/west alley. The Fire Department stated that a fence and the vacation of these alleys make it difficult for the people on Linden Avenue. Environmental Services stated that the vacation of these alleys will affect trash collection. Engineering stated that the neighboring properties rely upon the existing alleys for access and this vacation will hinder the development of surrounding properties. GARYA. GILOT, P.E. CARL P.
