How does a municipality hold title to dedicated streets and alleys?
I have a good idea but would like additional input.

The municipality I represent sold lots located adjacent to a dedicated street at auction.  Turns out the building on the property extends well onto the north half of a dedicated street right-of-way.  The south half is utilized by the municipality as a large concrete drainage channel. The municipality needs to convey title to the north half of the street to the purchaser.

After considering your thoughts, I will set out my plan for vetting by attorneys interested in this situation.

Respectfully,
Steven Holloway
