The Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing and approved a resolution to abandon a portion of a section-line statutory right-of-way along Northwest Tenth Street between Robinson Avenue and Harvey Avenue and to vacate a portion of Northwest Tenth Street, clearing the way for a formal vacation process in district court.

County staff described the area as effectively an alley where a substitute road already exists and said the right-of-way is not functional in its current condition. Staff advised the board to follow the public-hearing process to allow citizens to comment. Several members of the public spoke during the hearing. One speaker urged the board to consider who would be harmed or helped by the closure and asked that the county assess negative and positive impacts before final action. Another speaker, Caitlin Turner, 525 Northwest Eleventh Street, said the closure was part of site cleanup for future development, had gone through Oklahoma City Planning Commission and City Council processes, and that an application would proceed to district court pending the board's action.

After closing the public hearing, Commissioner Lowe moved to vacate the identified portion of Tenth Street, a motion that was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Ending: The board closed the public hearing and approved the vacation; staff noted the matter will proceed through the formal district-court vacation process as required by statute.
