Council approves abandonment and easement to allow skate‑park project at Adrian Hallway near Trinity Rep
Summary
The council approved an abandonment and easement for the Adrian Hallway alley near Trinity Rep, clearing the way for a Friends of Adrian Hallway skate‑park project after council and community negotiations.
The Providence City Council approved an abandonment and easement for Adrian Hallway, the narrow alley between Trinity Rep and an adjacent parking garage, clearing a key legal hurdle for a proposed skate‑park project supported by Friends of Adrian Hallway.
Council members described a lengthy and technical negotiation that sought to balance Trinity Rep’s operational needs with community demand for a safe, legal skate facility. Councilman Sanchez and other committee members said the outcome reflects extensive committee work and compromise among the theater, neighborhood groups and skating advocates.
The council recorded a voice vote in which the items were approved and then referred or noted per committee procedures. Councilors thanked Trinity Rep staff and the community advocates who participated in planning and mediation sessions. Supporters said the easement and abandonment will permit construction and formalize use terms while preserving theater access and safety.
The city clerk will process the abandonment/easement documents and the Ordinance/Urban Redevelopment committee will track the implementation steps and any required permits.
