Explanation
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service is currently engaged in a project identified as Arterial Street Rehabilitation - North High Street Flint Road to County Line (1574 DR. E). This project involves widening North High Street from Flint Road to the County Line by one lane each direction to match ODOT's interchange reconstruction project at SR23 and I-270. Project improvements include sidewalk, multi-use path, construction and replacement of traffic signals, and utility relocations.
During design of the North High Street Flint Road to County Line, it was determined a portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus would need to be dedicated for road way purpose to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project. Current plans for the improvements indicate Parcel 102-WD, totaling 0.138 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 provides for the City to accept title to the real property as recorded in instrument number 200605190098061 Franklin County Recorder's Office, to dedicate a portion of the real property as road right-of-way and name the road right-of-way as North High Street.
