AI Summary
This bill authorizes the City of Westfield to categorize certain private ways as public streets, even if the city does not currently hold the necessary land or easements. The city can accept these private ways as public streets after holding a public hearing, filing an order of layout with the city clerk, and either determining that the city already holds the necessary land or easements (with a presumption that it does if the way has been maintained for at least 20 years), or acquiring the necessary land or easements through gift, purchase, or eminent domain without requiring an appraisal of damages.
