1. Background:
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from The City of Columbus, Recreation and Parks Department asking that the City transfer the control and maintenance responsibilities for the right-of-way identified as a 0.0882 acre portion of the unnamed north/south alley between Wilson and Linwood Avenues, south of Bryden Road.
