Committee advances one-block vacation on East Taylor Avenue near North Broadway

Alderman Theiss presented Board Bill 111 to vacate the block of East Taylor Avenue to Quita near North Broadway after a property owner (Hopkins property/Broadway Development) petitioned to consolidate adjacent parcels. Theiss said the section proposed for vacation is one block and that access from Cary, Quita and Prescott will remain open so vehicles can still enter the area.

She told the committee that surrounding businesses supported the closure and that the owner had obtained signatures from neighboring properties. Committee members asked clarifying questions about the boundaries; no members of the public appeared to comment. The committee moved and — without objection on a previous roll — advanced Board Bill 111 with a 'do pass' recommendation.
