e intent to prohibit skateboarding elsewhere in the city except at LTD bus transfer stations. Ms. Ehrman called councilors' attention to a verbal testimony received in the City Manager's Office from Howard Yudelson, 1601 Olive Street. Mr. Yudelson considered skateboarders a public nuisance in his neighborhood and hoped to see skateboarding banned on sidewalks near his home and in Charnel Mulligan Park. Mr. Whitlow announced that a public hearing on the Parks Master Plan was scheduled for July 10 and would specifically address a skateboard park. Mr. Green stated his support for the ordinance and for the development of a skateboard park. He encouraged those who had testified that skateboarding was young people's only alternative to involvement with drugs to expand their horizons. Council Bill 4147 was read the second time by number only. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Bennett, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Ro 11 ca 11 vote; a 11 councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed (and became Ordinance No. 19623). III. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE VACATING UNDEVELOPED RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED e WEST OF GARFIELD AND NORTH OF 26TH (SCHOOL DISTRICT 4J, SV 89-1) Assistant City Manager Dave Whitlow introduced the topic. Terry Jones, Planning and Development Department, reported that application had been received from the owner of all abutting property (School District 4J) to vacate two unimproved rights-of-way in an area located between Garfield and City View streets just north of West 26th Place. Based on the information available, staff found that: 1) the subject area is not presently, nor in the future, needed for public service facilities or utilities; 2) such public services, facilities, or utilities can be extended in an orderly and efficient manner; and 3) the vacation is consistent with applicable transportation plans. Ms. Jones explained that the property owner has determined this is a remnant parcel and the buyer has received tentative approval for a subdivision on the property which will create a new street fitting better with the topography of the area. Councilor Schue opened the public hearing. There being no requests to speak, Councilor Schue closed the public hearing.
