(a) The enactment of an ordinance by City Council vacating or narrowing a street or alley which has been dedicated to public use by the proprietor thereof, shall, to the extent to which it is vacated or narrowed, operate as a revocation of the acceptance thereof by the City Council, but the right of way and easement therein of any lot owner shall not be impaired by such order.
(b) The vacation of a street or alley shall operate as a conveyance of title to the vacated portion to the abutting property owner or owners. If the street or alley is vacated rather than narrowed, each abutting owner shall be deemed to own the vacated portion from the former right-of-way line abutting his or her property to the center of the former right-of-way, unless the affected owners all consent in writing to a different division of the vacated portion, in which event Council may include such agreed division in its ordinance.
