Cranbrook residents will have the chance to raise any concerns over a proposed removal of road dedication with a public hearing set for Monday, July 14, at 6 p.m. in council chambers.
In 2022, the owners of 1112 13th Street South approached the City to purchase a portion of 12th Avenue South beside their property.
The owner’s carport was built on the road dedication before they had bought the property and their fenced yard encroaches into the dedication.
The city has determined the fair market value of the portion of road is $10,000.
The sale will be approved if the closure and removal of dedication goes through.
City staff say there are no safety concerns as the location is unusually wide for a local residential road at 28 metres.
Most residential roads in Cranbrook are 18-20 metres wide.
