He noted that the petition received a favorable recommendation at the May 19, 1987 meeting of the Board of Public Works. Mr. Celmer, one of the petitioners, stated that the basic reasons for the proposed vacation were for various safety concerns and security of property. He indicated that there had been vandalism in this area. Councilman Braboy noted that this area is in her district but that she had not been contacted (one way or the other) regarding the proposed vacation. Councilman Barcome inquired as to whether Mr. Celmer was the property owner from Huron to Ford and was informed that the petitioner does own all of that property. Following discussion by the Committee, Councilman Serge made a motion, seconded by Councilman Taylor , that Bill No. 35-87 receive a favorable recommendation. The motion passed. The Committee then reviewed Substitute Bill No. 34-87 which would vacate the first north-south alley west of Sunnyside. The petitioners , Dr. Stephan Thompson and Mr. & Mrs. Greg Brasseur , were present. It was noted that twenty-three (23) children aged ten (10) years or younger live within that area. The Brasseurs have taken various safety measures with regard to placing safety cones and cutting down hedges, but a considerable safety problem still exists in that area. Mr. Leszczynski noted that this was a blind alley and that he recommended the alley be vacated.
