The proposed vacation would eliminate traffic hazards by eliminating two internal intersections as well as eliminating access from driveways and parking areas onto the heavily traveled First and Third Streets. 2. The elimination of the rights of way to be vacated will focus traffic flow onto the major arterial streets which will facilitate smoother traffic circulation through this area. 3. The proposed vacation will allow consolidation of the adjacent land area into larger blocks which will tend to result in an increased potential growth, development and effi- cient land utilization thereon.
