; and
Whereas, The former Sixth Street Viaduct no longer exists and the City, therefore, has no need to retain the maintenance easement; and
Whereas, Milwaukee Intermodal Partners, LLC has requested that this maintenance easement be released so that the Amtrak Station redevelopment can proceed at this location without any unnecessary encumbrances on the land; and
Whereas, Maintenance easements for the new Sixth Street Viaduct have already been acquired and recorded against the adjacent lands; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, hereby releases the maintenance easement, Document Number 4205397, as recorded on September 8, 1965, located at 601 West St. Paul Avenue, 335 North 6th Street, and 315 North 6th Street as described above; and, be it
