<br />
<br /> The City will retain easements for existing public
<br />utilities after the closure of the Queen Street, Willi~unsburg
<br />Avenue and Lockport Street sections. As the utilities are
<br />relocated, it will be necessary to release the easements.
<br />
<br /> I, therefore, recommend adoption of both the ordinance
<br />closing the designated streets, alleys and lanes within the
<br />site for the new I.C. Norcom High School, and the resolution
<br />authorizing the City Manager to release the easements after the
<br />public utilities are relocated."
<br />
<br /> Motion by Mr. Clemons, and seconded by Mr. Pitts, to adopt
<br />the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE CLOSING PORTIONS OF QUEEN STREET, LOCKPORT
<br />STREET (FORMERLY LONDON STREET) WILLIAMSBURG AVENUE (FORMERLY
<br />SECOND AVENUE), LONDON STREET, YORKTOWN AVENUE (FORMERLY FOURTH
