Request to Vacate Alley_1900 Block of Garfield AvenueHonorable Mayor and City Council

Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council,
I am writing to request the city vacate the alley behind the east side of the 1900 block of
Garfield Avenue. The addresses involve include: 1956, 1952, 1946, 1912 and 1902 Garfield
Avenue. All property owners affected have consented to the vacating of the alley.
We wish to have the city vacate the alley because the alley is no longer in use. We would
like to utilize the space as part of our yard. We bought the house three years ago with a fence
already in place. We, however, have been notified the fence must be taken down if no action is
taken to vacate the alley. We believe the fence serves many purposes. The main purpose is to
keep our young children safe when playing in the backyard.
Sincerely,
Brian Goranson
