Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, Division of Transportation, is currently developing plans for the improvement of Hudson Street, from a point approximately 50 feet west of Dresden Street to a point approximately 200 feet west of Parkwood Avenue, and Joyce Avenue, from a point approximately 75 feet north of Kenmore Road to a point approximately 400 feet north of Hudson Street. This project consists of the reconstruction of these portions of Hudson and Joyce and includes curb, storm sewer and water line improvements. Also, as a part of this project sidewalks and/or shared use paths are proposed for both sides of Hudson and Joyce within the project limits. The proposed sidewalks/shared use paths are a minimum of 5 feet wide and a maximum of 8 feet wide. Based upon the preliminary plans for this project (2630 DR. E) it appears successful completion of this project will require the acquisition of additional permanent right-of-way, permanent easements and temporary construction easements. Preliminary acquisition costs for professional services including title, appraisal and City Attorney's Real Estate Division staff costs, associated with this project are estimated to be $75,000.00. Additional funding for land acquisition and acquisition authority will be requested after appraisals are completed.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
Monies to pay these initial acquisition costs are available within the Streets and Highways G.O. Bonds Fund due to encumbrance cancellations of completed projects.
