Residents of a local subdivision voiced concerns during a recent government meeting regarding the potential vacating of a road that could landlock several properties. One resident contested the action, emphasizing that it would affect four of his lots and render them inaccessible. He highlighted the condition of McMurrayal Avenue, which runs parallel to a main road, noting that it has been poorly maintained since he paid for its cleaning in 2008. The resident also sought guidance on how to address the accumulation of debris and obstacles that have made the road impassable.
The meeting revealed that the resident must obtain legal counsel and written consent from neighboring property owners to proceed with contesting the road vacate. Officials acknowledged the complexity of the situation, indicating that they are awaiting further legal advice to determine the next steps.
Another resident raised concerns about the maintenance of shared spaces, mentioning that they have been caring for the grass in their backyards and expressed worries about unfamiliar individuals accessing the area. The group is currently working with legal counsel to resolve these issues.
The meeting concluded with officials reiterating the need for legal clarity before any further action can be taken, leaving residents in a state of uncertainty regarding the future of their properties and shared roadways.
