Right-of-Way to be Abandoned
The unopened alleyway off of North McDowell Street and North Myers Street is located south of East 35th Street.
Reason
This abandonment will allow each of the two abutting owners to incorporate the unopened right-of-way into their land so that they will have full title and interest in the right-of-way that they are currently maintaining.
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.
