PETITION OF A. A. L INDS TROM AND OTHERS FOR THE VACATION
OF HERS CHEL AVENUE FROM PORTLAND AVENUE TO
ASR1AN'D AVENUE.
TO THE COMMON 5OUNC IL OF THE CITY OF ST. PAUL:
The undersigned, being all of the owners of property
abutting on Herschel Avenue between Portland and Ashland Avenues,
and also other persons residing in the vicinity of said street,
respectfully petition your honorable body to vacate said portion of
Herschel Avenue (a correct plat whereof is hereto annexed) for the
following reasons:
- l- Said street as now laid out, as far north as Selby Avenue,
is only thirty (30) feet wide, and as shown by the plat a portion of
it is sixty (60) feat wide making an unsightly jog. The property
through which this street passes is suitable now and in the future
will be suitable only for good residence property, by reason of which
a thirty (30) foot street is an injury rather than a benefit to the
property abutting thereon and to the surrounding property, particular-=
ly so in this case, as Aldine Avenue, the first street east, has been
laid out at a width of thirty (30) feet and has the main sewer in it
and cannot be vacated,
-2 This street has no southern outlet, but stops at Portland
Avenue. The cost of opening this street to Summit Avenue on the
south to a width of at least sixty (60) feet, would far exceed the
benefit that would be deriveid from such opening and is impracticable,
and in fact two applications have been made to widen Herschel Avenue
north to Dayton Avenue, but the same has been refused by the Board
of Public Works each time upon the ground that it was impossible to
find any property sufficiently benefited, to pay for the land necessa-
ry to widen the street, 4G -• XffigipcXX

-34 If this vacation should be granted, no lot situated in
Xaft*iitaxa lutDt3cdAzitzgrasksttxxxexisimmikauxis txix the square thus wade
would be more than 248 feet from Wheeler Avenue, or 269 feet from
Aldine Avenue, and the entire block would be less than 600 feet, the
usual distance of blocks in a large part of the best residence
portion of our City,
-4- The chief travel which this street can accommodate is to
provide a route to residents, thereon to and from the Selby Avenue
and Grand Avenue car lines . The vacation prayed for would not in-
crease the distance any whatever to Grand Avenue as it is now
necessary to go east to Aldine or west to Wheeler Avenue to reach
said Grand Avenue car line, and as above indicated, the distance
east to Aldine and west to wheeler Avenue from any lot after this
vacation should be made, would not be unusual .
-5- Your petitioners further show that if such vacation be
granted as prayed for, A. A. Lindstrom will by appropriate conveyance
grant and dedicate to the City that shaded portion of her land shown
upon the plat to be 20 X 51 feet, for the purpose of a public alley,
the same now being private property and never having been condemned
for an alley, and thus save the City t e expense of opening the sane,
and your petitionerHil also pay the cost and expense of this
proceeding.
