1Opinion of the Court

GLASSMAN, Justice.

Roberta J. Manter and her husband, David L. Manter, appeal from a declaratory judgment and a summary judgment entered by the Superior Court, Kennebec County, in favor of the Town of Fayette. The court determined that the Town discontinued the Young Road by abandonment pursuant to 23 M.R.S.A. § 3028 (Supp.1986) and retained a public easement as that term is defined in 23 M.R.S.A. § 3021 (1980). Although we disagree with the reasoning process employed by the Superior Court in reaching its conclusion, we nevertheless affirm the judgment.
