* The action removes land from public right-of-way status and attaches it to the adjacent property.

Petitioners
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC
Right-of-Way to be Abandoned
N. Myers Street and E. 13th Street are located southwest of Belmont Avenue, adjacent to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.
Reason
The petitioner and Mecklenburg County are both vested with title to the real property that is located adjacent to the portion of N. Myers and E. 13th Street. The abandonment of a portion of N. Myers Street and E. 13th Street will enable both the petitioner and the County to reassemble the abutting property in order to accommodate future land use needs.
Notification
As part of the City's notification process, and in compliance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-299, the Charlotte Department of Transportation submitted this abandonment petition for review by the public and City Departments.
