This bill revises the city plan to close and re-pave two streets: Forty-seventh Street from Fairmount Avenue to Brown Street, and Aspen Street from Forty-seventh Street to Markoe Street. The city will also reserve space for utilities like water and gas mains within these new lines. Property owners must agree to release the city from any potential damages or claims before this can happen.
