15th and Ferguson Roundabout right-of-way

Summary

The city needs slivers of up to five parcels — including Nottingham subdivision common area — to fix the notoriously dangerous 15th/Ferguson intersection. The eminent domain authorization is a legal backstop; the city says it almost never actually condemns property. The roundabout matters as a detour route during upcoming Reed Market rail-bridge construction.
