Council approves discontinuance of Dorey Street, 9-0
Summary
The Common Council voted unanimously to discontinue Dorey Street; the motion was made by Council Member Barrington and seconded by Ritchie with a recorded vote of 9-0.
The New London Common Council on May 20 approved a resolution to discontinue Dorey Street by a unanimous 9-0 vote.
Council Member Barrington made the motion to consider approval for the discontinuance; the motion was seconded by Council Member Ritchie and carried 9-0 after a roll-call vote. No public input was recorded during the council’s public hearing portion on street discontinuances; the mayor closed the public hearing after hearing no public comment.
Why it matters: Street discontinuances change public right-of-way ownership and can affect adjacent property access or future development. The council’s vote authorized the discontinuance; any resulting property or title actions will follow the city’s administrative process.
