Explanation
The last several years have witnessed the reconstruction of several portions of Cleveland Avenue. The City undertook two projects, Cleveland Avenue north and Cleveland Avenue south, and Franklin County earlier rebuilt a portion of Cleveland Avenue (from Ferris Road to Morse Road) that resides primarily in the county but is surrounded by Columbus.

Improvements include full-depth pavement reconstruction, storm drainage and sidewalks with Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant wheelchair ramps. Columbus' share of this project is estimated to total $800,000.00 and the county will bill the city a maximum of this amount based on their actual costs. This ordinance provides for the reimbursement of $800,000.00 or so much thereof as may be necessary to the Franklin County Engineering Department for this purpose.
