The proposed changes to the alleys in the block north of Artesia Boulevard and west of Orange Avenue are shown on the attached Exhibit A.
On July 14. 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. RES-09-0070, declaring its intention to vacate the subject right-of-way and set August 11, 2009, as the date for the public hearing. A copy of the July 14, 2009 City Council letter is attached as Exhibit B.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda Trang on May 5,2009 and Budget and Performance Management Bureau Manager David Wodynski on July 23,2009.
