Council approves sale of McDougall right-of-way to Little Red Schoolhouse for safer access
Summary
Petitioner Gary Miley asked the council to sell a 50-by-120-foot portion of McDougall Street right-of-way so Little Red Schoolhouse can connect directly with adjacent green space for student gardens; council members said safety and prior concerns were resolved and approved the sale.
Gary Miley, representing Little Red Schoolhouse, told the council his organization has occupied the building since 1984 and requested sale of a 50-by-120-foot portion of McDougall Street right-of-way to create safe, contiguous access to adjacent green space for proposed community gardens.
"We own Little Red Schoolhouse in Covington. Been here 52 years now," Miley said, and explained that current state rules make crossing the right-of-way for children difficult without burdensome paperwork. Council members said engineering and public-works concerns raised in earlier discussions had been addressed and expressed support for the sale on safety grounds. The council moved, seconded and approved the ordinance to convey the specified portion of right-of-way to the petitioner.
