739. The local municipality may alienate, even gratuitously, the right of way of a road no longer in use or re-use it for any purpose coming under its jurisdiction.
Where the value of the right of way that alienated gratuitously is greater than the amount mentioned in paragraph 1.1 of article 6, the alienation shall, notwithstanding its gratuitous character, be entered in the notice provided for in that paragraph with a mention of the gratuitous nature of the alienation instead of the price of alienation.
M.C. 1916, a. 467; 1996, c. 27, s. 84.
739. Every part of the land of a discontinued road returns, de jure, to the lot from which it has been detached, and is at the charge of the occupant of such lot.
If the land of the discontinued road has not been taken from the neighboring lots, it returns, de jure, to the lots between which it is situated, in the proportion of one-half to each.
Nevertheless, if one of the proprietors whose property borders upon the discontinued road, gives the land or a part thereof required for the new road, the land of the former road belongs to him in proportion to the extent of that given by him.
Persons who own any portion of the fencing along the discontinued road, have the right to remove such portion within 15 days from the closing of the road.
