County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved Ordinance No. P-34, adopting
procedures for the abandonment of federal patent easements. The Maricopa County

Having no known opposition and having not received any written comments in
opposition from other County departments, other agencies, any utility or the
public, the Department of Transportation (MCDOT), in accordance with
Ordinance P-34, is recommending that the BOS approve the abandonment as
requested.
