Fiesta Valle alley vacation (AV25-01)
Summary
The city gave up its easement on the 10-foot half-alley behind east-side 18th Street homes, letting adjacent owners reclaim the land while an apartment project at 1603 Malan replaces it with a wider access road. Neighbors get bigger backyards but possible small reassessments.
