Excess Condemnation and the Streets: The Use of Excess Condemnation in the Opening, Widening and Extension of Streets
Cities have always found it necessary to open, widen, and extend streets. During the last few years, since the development of city planning, there has been more of this activity than formerly. When these openings, widenings, and extensions are made in developed parts of cities, irregular pieces are often left and the cost of the part taken may be as great as that for the whole lot; the claim being sustained that “the damage to the part remaining equals the value of the whole property.” Sometimes the parts of lots left are not sufficient to insure a proper development.
