What it does

Morton Street access removed for playground users Residents who previously used Morton Street to cross or access Baker Playground will need to use alternative routes; the street will no longer be maintained as public right-of-way.

The bigger picture

Park space expands; potential for new amenities Vacating the right-of-way allows the Parks Department to reclaim Morton Street land for playground expansion, landscaping, or recreational infrastructure improvements.
