An Order to: Vote to Rescind Bill No. 2019-042 and Accept a Portion of Elm Street as a City Public Way

The Amesbury City Council is ordering the rescission of Bill 2019-042 and authorizing acceptance of a discontinued portion of Elm Street that had been laid out as a state highway to become a City Public Way. The accepted section (Discontinuance Sections A and B) is described by state plan details and boundaries, excluding a segment of Interstate 495. The plan (Layout No. 8621) and related documents outline the transfer of drainage rights and easements from the state to the City, with the plan filed in the Essex South Registry of Deeds. This change shifts street jurisdiction and maintenance to the City and defines the transfer via state highway alteration documents.
