Most residents along a Western Canal sewer line project will not have land taken, but those homeowners still are grappling with uncertainty from Gilbert Town Council’s decision Nov. 16 about how the project should proceed.
Council voted 6-1 to limit land acquisitions in the corridor — which runs along the canal’s north side from Village II Park to Lindsay Road, behind Hemlock Avenue, Commerce Avenue and Honeysuckle Lane — to parts of four of the 24 properties.
The four homeowners will lose only the portions needed to access manholes in their backyards.
