The Toledo Board of Revision of Assessments convened on July 24, 2025, to address a significant matter concerning the vacation of a public right of way. The meeting, held in Council Chambers, was led by Paul Searing, representing the Director of Law, alongside Megan Robeson, the Director of Public Service, and Tom Buckley, the Commissioner of Accounts, who stood in for the Director of Finance.

The primary focus of the meeting was Resolution Number 5825, which declares the intent to vacate a section of Whitmer Drive, specifically the portion between West Alexis Road and Liceom. This decision is part of the board's responsibilities as outlined in the city charter, which includes making recommendations to the city council on various matters.

During the meeting, Andy Sweeney from the Engineering and Construction Management department presented the case for the vacation of the roadway. The board opened the floor for public comments and questions, emphasizing community engagement in the decision-making process.

This resolution, if approved, could lead to changes in traffic patterns and land use in the area, highlighting the board's role in shaping Toledo's infrastructure. The meeting concluded without any additional preliminary matters, focusing solely on the implications of the proposed vacation.

As the board moves forward, the community will be kept informed about the next steps regarding this resolution and its potential impact on local residents and businesses.
