In a lengthy discussion Monday night – in some cases reaching back to plans from 2009 – the Escalon City Council and several concerned city residents and business owners ultimately agreed to agree that they basically want the same thing for the recently vacated Prospect Street. The street, which runs between First Street and Roosevelt Avenue, cuts across a lot with the Escalon Lumber and Hardware business on one side and a group of businesses including a beauty salon and Escalon Transmission on the other. Business owners and members of the Escalon Azores Hall attended the council meeting with petitions in hand, originally seeking that the city rescind the vacating of the street.
