This is a complicated issue. You may want to begin by consulting with an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can review your situation and explain your options, if any.

You cannot purchase a public street. If a public way is no longer in use and it abuts your property you can initiate a long process by which the street may qualify to be discontinued and abandoned by the entity that owns it (state, county, town). The title would eventually descend to the town and then there must be a statutory process by which the town can eventually transfer ownership. You should begin your inquiries at your town offices.

You should be aware that from ancient times, when public ways were laid out, the way sometimes passed through the land of a single owner or sometimes was taken along the boundary of two owners. Many jurisdictions have laws providing that when a way is eventually discontinued the land reverts to the abutters. In the case of a road that ran along a boundary between two owners, each property would obtain the land to the middle of the road.
