1117 <br />Conpini I don't think this was ever meant to be an alley. <br />ti~farkentien VJha± causes you to ::ay that, Paul? There is nothing.to indicate <br />that it wasn't supposed to be an alley. <br />Conpini It isn't the proper width. <br />Warkentien Back in the ~4ode1 T days, that was wide enough for two cars. The <br />fact that there isn't any walkway between the other blocks is un- <br />fortunate. <br />Swenson I live close to a walkway. The residents petitioned that it be <br />vacated. The Planning Commission feels there is no need for it <br />and has referred the matter to the Council. There are sidewalks <br />all around. <br />ltdarkentien Where are the sidewalks on Albert & Holton? <br />Sorenson You don't maintain the walkway anyway. <br />Nilsen What effect would blocking the lane to vehicular traffic have in <br />view of the petition as bresented? <br /> Graham I believe the Village has the power to stop vehicular traffic by <br /> taking appropriate steps. It is not wide enough to be a regular <br /> alley; but, I think, if youkept it for a walkway, it would still <br /> <br />r~:4rs. Salminen come within the purposes of the original platters. <br />If it is vacated, ore will maintain it. <br /> Warkentien I question whether we should let anybody drive on a walkway. Cer- <br /> tainly they vrant access to the driveways. <br /> Johnson If it is vacated, it would go back to t~rivate ownership. <br /> O'Keefe People walk in all alleys, and you find garages on a lot of alleys. <br /> Warkentien Th~.t's true. If I had an alley, I'd put my garage on it too. <br /> Salminen Passing isn't good. There are mud holes in it. There is always <br /> water in front of our garage. <br /> Nilsen Then, evidently, your garage is built too low. <br /> Salminen No, the alley is too high. <br /> Utecht I orithdraw my second. ~i~Ie sent out fifty notices and had no objections. <br /> Warkentien I've had plenty of objections. People made them to me. <br /> Utecht I would like to see it kept the way it is. Keep traffic out but let <br /> the kids go through. <br /> Johnson Wouldn't you have to vacate it and then dedicate it as a walkway? <br /> Graham It is a lane but not dedicated wide enough to be a broner alley. <br /> When this was dedicated back in '31, we didn't have the standards <br /> we have now. <br />
