The homeowners along the walkway have on numerous occasions and over the years been the victims of vandalism; and during the fall of 2003 The City of Saint John received multiple requests to stop-up and close the walkway situated between 65-77 Donaldson Street and 22-32 Alward Street.

If Council so chose, by way of a resolution, it can authorize the subdivision and sale of the walkway land, or if more public input is required it could: 1) refer the matter to the Planning Advisory Committee for a recommendation (the views of area property owners would be sought; or 2) authorize staff to advertise a public hearing, to be held before Council, at a date specified by Council. The City Manager pointed out if Council felt it already gathered enough information on this matter, it could resolve to leave the subject land as a walkway, for now, and instruct staff to work with the abutting property owners to minimize the occurrences of vandalism, as best possible. It was moved by Councillor Tait, and seconded by Councillor Farren that the above noted report be received for information. Discussion followed, at which time it was suggested that Council give the public an opportunity to voice its concerns on the issue.

Le conseil peut choisir, par voie de resolution, d'autoriser Ie lotissement et la vente de I'allee pietonniere ou, si davantage de commentaires provenant du public s'averent necessaires, il peut proceder de la maniere suivante : 1) soumettre la question au Comite consultatif d'urbanisme aux fins de recommandations (Ies opinions des proprietaires du secteur seraient donc sollicitees); 2) autoriser les employes municipaux a publier les avis relatifs a la tenue d'une audience publique devant Ie conseil a une date precisee par ledit conseil.
