The subject right-of-way consists of a 10- foot wide by 180-foot long walkway that was created with the Adams Plat. There is a 7-foot wide Public Utility Easement on the eastern end of the walkway which would not be vacated. Willamalane Park and Recreation District which owns the property on the east end of the walkway has no objections to the proposed vacation.

In regular session, the Commission will conduct a public hearing concerning these amendments and will make a recommendation to the City Council concerning their adoption.
