WEST COAST, MINECRAFT

The abandoned part of Medina Street in West Coast has been the main focus of West Coast City Council as well as MINEDOT Transportation. MINEDOT and City Council have been having meetings and coming up plans to possibly repave and fix up the abandoned part of Medina Street and opening it back up. Medina Street was cut in half between Route 14 and a bit of Route 6 West due to the street getting unmainted by the abandoned house which resides near Medina Street. That part was cut in half in 2009 due to safety concerns. Now, MINEDOT and West Coast have good plans. “We have been planning for a couple of weeks, as well as months to repave and fix up that part of Medina Street, we might also either keep it the same name, or name it Old Medina Street.” says chief executive of MINEDOT Transportation. But there is some issues though, the abandoned house. West Coast City Council says, the cost to demolish the long abandoned home is up to $1,500,600. as well as the house having historical value. The house was built in 1823 and helped open up Medina Street as well as boost the community of West Coast. After the house was built, another house was built on the corner of Glenwood Avenue and Medina Street In 1903. Another house was built in front in 1950, which later helped build more homes in Glenwood Avenue. The historic house then went abandoned sometime in 1997 due to the owners not having enough money to pay rent, which also made it hard for the past owners to sell. MINEDOT wants to try to avoid demolishing the house but is thinking of some way to fix it up without destroying the history of the home.
