Authorizing the revision of lines and grades on a portion of City Plan Nos. 240 and 296 by placing on the City Plan Nixon Street from the existing northwesterly terminus of Nixon Street, northwest of Shawmont Avenue, to Port Royal Avenue (not on City Plan), placing on the City Plan River Road from Port Royal Avenue (not on City Plan) to a point approximately ten feet southeast of the Philadelphia-Montgomery County Line, and placing on the City Plan a right of way for sewer and drainage purposes and water main purposes and emergency access purposes extending from the proposed northwesterly terminus of River Road to the Philadelphia-Montgomery County Line and authorizing the vacating of the legally open portions of Nixon Street and River Road lying outside the lines of Nixon Street and River Road as proposed to be placed on City Plan, all under certain terms and conditions.
