City Council vacates alleys and streets in Cliff Addition to Seward Town Site

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission has taken a significant step towards urban development by approving the vacation of several alleys and portions of streets in the Cliff Addition to Seward Town Site. This decision, made during the meeting on July 14, 2025, will affect the alley between Lots 6 and 126 and 12 in Block 6, as well as the west half of First Street adjacent to Lots 62 through 6 in Block 6, and the east half of First Street adjacent to Lots 212 through 14 in Block 9.

The approval aims to streamline land use and facilitate future development in the area, which is expected to enhance accessibility and improve the overall urban landscape. By vacating these public rights-of-way, the borough is paving the way for potential new projects that could benefit local residents and businesses.

This decision reflects the borough's ongoing commitment to urban planning and development, ensuring that land use aligns with community needs and growth. As the borough moves forward, stakeholders will be watching closely to see how these changes will impact the Seward area and its residents.
