## Opinion text

TORBERT, Chief Justice
(concurring in the result).
I concur in the majority’s holding that a municipality may not in perpetuity contractually restrict its power of eminent domain; however, it would appear the alleged vacation or closing of the public walkway will materially interfere with the public use to which the walkway is already subjected or devoted.
BEATTY, J., concurs.
