Council reaches agreement on Atomic Way street vacation

Posted

BRIDGEPORT – Unless spring floodwaters breach Chief Joseph Dam or a giant asteroid hits the Earth in the next few weeks, it appears that actions to complete the vacation of Atomic Way will be finalized at the next regular meeting of the City Council in April.
Council members cleared the final hurdles that will allow Bridgeport resident, Scott Wright, the applicant for vacation, to receive the upper portion of

Atomic Way plus a little more property that was specified in Wright’s original proposal.

Council member Anthony Perkins who, with Council member Phil Lee, served on the committee researching Atomic Way said everything should finally come together next month.

“It’s a win-win for Wright and the city,” Perkins said.

In other business a 100-year-old-plus map of the city revealed that the city boundaries along the west end of town actually extend farther than previously thought and involves about four property owners near the town’s sewer plant. The city attorney recommended that the council take no action on the new findings as the process required would not gain the city enough to justify the cost and expense.

Council members decided to refer the issue to the property owners for their consideration.
