Board hears public concern on easement encroachments as Westlake Avenue chosen as street-ends pilot
Summary
The Park Board reviewed a council-endorsed pilot to open Westlake Avenue as the first street-ends site, heard a resident'raised public comment about easement encroachments, and debated trade'offs between opening sites and the maintenance burden they would create.
The Park Board on Monday reviewed a council'backed pilot to open one street'end site — Westlake Avenue — and heard a public comment urging the city to address longstanding encroachments on public easements.
Resident Mary Bacon pressed the board for clarity on the city's plan, saying: "What is the city's plan to address these identified encroachment issues on our easements?" She added concern that "folks getting public property just by way of sitting on top of it for 7 to 10 years" seemed unfair.
