(3) Is compensation to the City and/or other utility stakeholders required if the alley reverts to adjacent <br /> landowners? <br /> The original vehicle to make the alley public use conformed with US constitutional 5th amendment Takings <br /> Clause requirements for just compensation to members of the public. How is the inverse case being taken into <br /> account? <br /> (4) What is the official justification for eliminating access for emergency vehicles and general public <br /> access between Heliotrope and Flower? <br /> The alley in question provides a practical connection between Flower Street and Heliotrope for pedestrian, <br /> emergency and other vehicle access. There are numerous car accidents on Flower that impede traffic on <br /> Flower. The alley serves as a critical alternative for vehicle access emergency and otherwise. <br /> On a personal level, I heavily rely on the public access provided by this alley for various activities. It allows <br /> me to walk my dog safely, navigate the neighborhood to visit friends, and attend community events with <br /> greater convenience. Additionally, I have direct access to my backyard through this alley, and I greatly value <br /> the ease and convenience it provides. It is worth mentioning that this alley has been an integral part of the <br /> community planning for well over a century, and as a resident of nearly six years, I have never witnessed any <br /> negative or criminal incidents until it was raised during the recent city planning meeting. The newest members <br /> to the neighborhood seem to be the ones who wish to end it for the rest of us. <br /> In conclusion, I urge the City Council to carefully consider and answer the questions posed above, and <br /> consider the ramifications of vacating public access to the alley. <br /> Thank you for your consideration, <br /> Michael Varciag <br /> 2 <br />
