Alley vacation between 214 and 222 Main Street
Summary
Council vacated a useless 12-foot alley so the Zuki building, its parking lot, and the R Council building can become one Italian food hall concept with a turf outdoor movie-and-event space — pitched as a downtown draw. CenterPoint keeps an easement underneath.
