§ 211-b. Abandonment of certain town highways in school districts.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, and upon the
request of either the county superintendent of highways or the town
superintendent of highways, any town board may, by resolution duly
adopted, declare any town highway or portion thereof in the town running
through school district lands not necessary for ingress to or egress
from any privately or publicly owned lands, and not necessary to connect
existing town, county or state highways, to be abandoned and
discontinued for public purposes. Such town shall at least thirty days
prior to such abandonment cause to be filed and recorded in the office
of the town clerk a written description of such highway or portion to be
abandoned with a written statement attached thereto that such highway or
portion thereof so described is proposed to be abandoned, and shall
cause notices to be posted in at least three conspicuous places in such
town of the time and place when such declaration of abandonment will be
made, for the purpose of permitting any interested person to appear for
or against the adoption of such resolution.
