What is Being Proposed?
The City is initiating vacation proceedings to remove the alley located south of Exposition Boulevard between Bundy Drive and Amherst Avenue from the public street system. This is the first step in a formal process that does not yet constitute approval of the vacation.
Why?
Petitioner Alex Moore, representing property owner Bundy Expo LLC, is requesting the vacation to facilitate future development of a residential mixed-use building on the property. The developer plans to repurpose a portion of the alley for pedestrian access between buildings and vehicular access to parking areas.
