Council schedules hearing and advances ordinance to vacate alley for new Fire Station No.7
Summary
Councilman Emerson sponsored an ordinance to vacate a 125‑foot portion of an east–west alley south of 175th Street to clear a site for a new Fire Station No. 7; council scheduled a public hearing April 27 and moved the ordinance forward on the floor.
Councilman Emerson introduced Ordinance 26‑11 to vacate a 125‑foot portion of an east–west alley south of 175th Street in the 7500 block of Linden Avenue to prepare the landing for a planned new Fire Station No. 7. Emerson said the closing is necessary to build the station and the ordinance contains the legal description of the parcel. The council scheduled a public hearing on April 27 in the Caucus Room for additional public input.
On the floor the motion to read and advance the ordinance passed by recorded vote; the sponsor indicated the alley closure is a step in preparing the site for construction. Detailed engineering, property transfer steps, and construction timing were not discussed at length and will require follow-up in the streets and alleys committee and through the planning processes.
