Holdane v. . Trustees of the Village of Cold Spring.

Summary

The Court held that the opening, fencing, and mapping of a strip of land that terminated in a cul‑de‑sac did not constitute an irrevocable dedication of a public highway. Because the owner’s intent was not unequivocal and the public had not accepted the strip as a highway, the dedication was ineffective and the plaintiff could resume possession. The judgment of the Supreme Court was affirmed.
