Councilmember Varner noted that the
se of the meeting was to review Bill No. 10-97
Counc purpose g
which is an alley vacation request for the alleys near Edwards Street and Kemble Street.
Mr. Joe Duke made the presentation on behalf of himself and his wife. He noted that the
alley in question has excessive traffic and that there is a public safety concern for his
father-in-law who is 87 years old.
Mr.Lenny Kingsbury and Mr.Alanso Adams of the Sanitation Department noted that they
withdraw their objection to the proposed vacation since the 8 foot alley is not currently
used by the department and all the affected properties currently have drop pick-up. In light
of that concern being withdrawn, Councilmember Varner noted that the Board of Public
Works unfavorable recommendation(copy attached)would be eliminated.
