Background:

The surface of the alley is comprised of grass. There are no sewers or manholes located in the proposed alley closure. There are hydro poles, guy wires and overhead utility lines located in the alley for which easements will be required.

The applicant is requesting the closure to consolidate land on properties abutting the alley.
