recorded in book 272, page 31 (the “Owners”) signed a Petition to Vacate Alley requesting the 
City to vacate the alley, hereinafter referred to as the “Roadway,” that abuts their property for the 
reason that it no longer serves a public purpose and that its vacation will not be detrimental to the
