This public stub street has concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk along the east side and municipal utilities exist under this street segment. This stub street is intended to connect with 157th Lane NW to the north in the future when two adjacent properties subdivide (one of these properties is where the pending plat of Gile Addition is located). There are no driveways off of this portion of Krypton Street. Attached is a case with attachments that was reviewed and approved by City Council on January 10, 2023.
