Wouldn’t all those people whose properties abut the laneway be upset about losing laneway access once it gets sold to a single landowner? It seems like a bizarre and regressive proposal. If the real issue is through traffic using it as a shortcut, then make it a dead end. Otherwise, selling it off seems like a bad idea.
