He <br /> noted that the alleys and streets proposed to be vacated are paper rights-of-ways and are <br /> not in use. <br /> Council Member Hosinski noted that in addition to the standard "savings clause" (located in <br /> § II of the Bill) which reserves the rights and easements of all utilities and the city, that <br /> applicable state law also provides for such protection.
