Mr. Murray moved $econded by Mr. Keller that the bill be approved and given final passage. Councilman Bradley explained his vote against second reading, holding the bill from passage at the last meeting, was on the basis of a public policy issue. He ... wondered whether the vacation would set precedent that would hold the Council in ~ the future when developers were encouraged to dedicate pedestrian access; bike paths, etc., in subdivisions. He was balancing the issue of access for children to schools and playgrounds without having to use thoroughfares against the incon venience and nuisance to owners of abutting properties. He said he had toured the walkways and felt the effort should be made by, the city for better maintenance. He suggested that educational programs could be carried on in the schools en- couraging students to show due respect for abutting properties. He thought too that through natural migration the elementary school children who were responsible for the vandalism might not be there in a couple of years. But the permanent decision to vacate the property based only on the nuisance and inconvenience factor was not justified. Rollcall vote was taKen on the motion to approve and pass. All council members present voting aye, except Mr.' Bradley voting no, the bill was declared passed and numbered 17238.
