Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service is currently engaged in a project identified as Project ADA Ramp Projects - Citywide Curb Ramps 2016 Project 1, CIP No. 530087-912016. Project constructs ramps and repairs/re-builds existing ramps, per 311 Service Request forecasted needs, including forecasted design needs, an allocation for installation of ramps at marked crosswalks, an allocation for construction of ramps only where pedestrian pushbuttons/signal may be requested, repair/replace ramps where tree roots in the City right-of-way have damaged existing curb ramps. This project also includes an allocation for coordination with Division of Sewerage and Drainage to complete repairs and improvements of curb ramps where flooding is an issue.
During design of the Project, ADA Ramp Projects - Citywide Curb Ramps 2016 Project 1, CIP No. 530087-912016, it was determined a portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus known as 2211-2217 Cleveland Avenue, Franklin County Parcel Number 010-060682 would need to be dedicated for roadway purposes to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project. Current plans for the improvements indicate an area totaling 0.0014 acre, will need to be dedicated as right of way for this purpose. After review of the preliminary plan sheets, the Department of Public Service has determined the dedication of this property to right of way will not adversely affect the City and should be allowed to proceed.
The following legislation permits the City to dedicate the property as road right-of-way and name the road right-of-way as Cleveland Avenue.
