Summary
Council adopted Ordinance Bill 24-62 to vacate the alley between Third and Fourth Streets east of May Street and to vacate Fourth Street east of May Street, relinquishing right-of-way to adjacent property owners; council passed the measure 4-0 after a brief clarification about traffic implications.
The Kewanee City Council on June 24 adopted Ordinance Bill 24-62 to vacate the alley between Third and Fourth Streets east of the east right‑of‑way line of May Street and to vacate Fourth Street east of the east right‑of‑way line of May Street.
Councilmember Colomer moved to approve the ordinance and Councilmember Faber seconded. Councilmember Baker asked whether the action restricted traffic to one direction or whether it transferred ownership of the street/alley; the council clarified that the action relinquishes the city’s rights to the specified right-of-way and transfers those rights to adjacent property owners. The motion passed 4-0.
The council discussed the item as a standard right-of-way vacation tied to changes in land use and did not record further conditions or noted objections in the meeting minutes.
