The City Council voted Tuesday night to permanently close a section of the alley between Chamberlain and Bailey avenues.
The vote was 5-4 in favor of permanent closure, with Chairman Dan Page casting the tie breaking vote in favor of the closure. Voting in favor of the closure were Linda Bennett, John Franklin, Jr., Debbie Gaines, Leamon Pierce, and Dan Page. Voting against the closure were Jack Benson, Manuel Rico, Sally Robinson, and Marti Rutherford.
The alley has been a longstanding safety issue for residents of the 1500 block of Chamberlain Avenue and has caused a growing concern among residents in recent months. The section of the alley in question runs between two residential properties (click here for map), 1506 and 1508 Chamberlain Ave.
