In 1997, the State Legislature passed a law transferring rights to unaccepted and unbuilt rights- of-way to the abutters when the municipality determines that they no longer have an interest in the right of way. Engineering no longer has a use for this right of way. Therefore, based on State statute, the City proposes to vacate a portion of the right of way from the center line to the property line to the owners at 85 Mildred Avenue. A similar, separate deed will grant the other half of this unaccepted portion of Gray Street to the abutting property on the other side of the unaccepted street.
