The City of Pensacola is considering closing, abandoning, and vacating an unimproved portion of an alley way. This action involves the north 10 feet of the alley way next to Lots 17 to 20 of Block 61, East Pensacola. The city proposes to abandon its claim to this right-of-way, allowing abutting property owners to acquire possession. However, the city and existing utility providers will retain an easement for utility maintenance. This item is currently under review as a proposed ordinance. The process involves potential site plan adjustments for adjacent property owners and confirmation of utility easement details. Contractors specializing in site work, utility services, and possibly surveying could find opportunities as abutting property owners take possession and potentially develop or improve their land. Engaging early before final approvals may provide an advantage.
