In a rare split in votes, the Red Wing City Council voted 3-3 in dispensing with the requirement for the Planning Commission to review vacating a portion of Minnesota Street.Â
Council members Becky Norton, Dean Hove and Andy Klitzke voted against the motion. Kim Beise, Evan Brown and Laurel Stinson voted for it. Council member Erin Buss was not in attendance for Mondayâs virtual meeting.Â
After the vote failed for lack of a simple majority, the council unanimously voted to send the request to the Advisory Planning Commission.
When a street is vacated, it means that it becomes private property.Â
