City backs public road access over private truck route
The city asserts trucks may not use the extension of Rochdale between Harper and Blackstone, while the row houses owners must keep it open to public traffic. The dispute with merchants along 55th and Lake Park centers on deliveries to Harner at 55th and who bears street maintenance costs. The corporation counsel ruling says the zoning board could provide an easement, that vehicles include private cars not trucks, and that restricting use requires talks among interested parties.
