City to give away pedestrian path


Do you live on the north side of Woodstock? Do you or your kids use the pedestrian path between Tappan Street and Bellair Lane?

If you do and if you want that path kept open as City property for public use, rather than seeing it revert to private ownership and likely closure to pedestrians or bicyclists, then you will want to attend the Public Hearing on Tuesday evening, August 3, 7:00PM at City Hall.

The Public Hearing is scheduled for 7:00PM and is for the purpose of vacating the public way there. That means, give up the City's right to it. If no member of the public is present, or if you show up but don't speak, the City will assume that you aren't interested and don't care.

The public portion of the Hearing will close, and the City Council will vote on the Ordinance that they have already spent money on to prepare.

And you can guess what their action will be.

I have heard that there are those in the neighborhood who want it kept the way it is. If you do, you'll want to make sure you are there before 7:00PM. The Mayor starts meetings on time. If you are late, it will be too late.
