Why it matters
Vacating a right-of-way means the city gives up its public claim to that strip of land, which can free it up for private use. Analysis: the file name 'MJS Multi-Family' suggests a multi-family housing project may be connected to the request, though the notice itself only describes the vacation petition. Residents who want to weigh in can attend the hearing or contact Development Services Manager Ken McIntyre. 1
