City Council to Yield Highway Rights for Gas Stations
The council plans to relinquish city rights along a Yellow Mill pond highway between Stratford Avenue and Maiden Lane, enabling two new gasoline stations on Barnum Avenue near Central, and at Boston Avenue and Huntington Road. City Attorney A L Delaney said the action rests on the council’s rights, dismissing separate dock rights. Judge John Smith warned of potential litigation over abandoning the roadway, which opponents argued could affect Maiden Lane property boundaries.
