Alderman Velasquez introduced Board Bill 109, which follows a Board of Public Service recommendation to conditionally vacate rights for vehicle, equestrian and pedestrian travel on a portion of Parker Avenue beginning near Kings Highway and extending east; the clerk read the formal charter citation in the bill summary.
Velasquez said Shicker Ford submitted a letter of testimony showing the business has pursued the request since 2017, planning approved the vacation and the dealership has been a long-standing steward of the property. Committee members had no questions; the clerk noted one written letter of support from John Shicker and the committee passed the bill out with a due-pass recommendation.
Next steps: the measure will move to the Board for a final vote.
