Explanation

The City of Columbus is engaged in the Miscellaneous Intersections Group 10 (Hudson and High) Improvement Project. This project will improve the intersections of Hudson Street with Neil Avenue and with High Street; will widen Hudson Street on both sides between Neil Avenue and High Street; will widen Hudson Street on the south side between High Street and East Avenue; and will install new signals at the intersections of Hudson Street with Neil Avenue and with High Street. The City Attorney's office has been acquiring additional rights-of-way to accommodate the proposed improvements using funding previously established pursuant to Ordinances 3008-1999, 0592-2004 and 0960-2005. The City Attorney's Real Estate Division staff recently notified the Transportation Division an additional $150,000.00 would be required to complete acquisition of the rights-of-way needed for this project. The following legislation authorizes the City Attorney to expend an additional $150,000.00, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to complete acquisition of fee simple title and lesser interests in and to property needed for this improvement project.

Fiscal Impact: Additional acquisition related expenses are currently estimated to be $150,000.00 for this project. Funds are budgeted and available for this expenditure from the Voted 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund.

Emergency action is being requested to allow right-of-way acquisition related activities to be completed so construction of the proposed intersection improvement project can proceed without delay.
