1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service is currently engaged in a project identified as Arterial Street Rehabilitation- Lockbourne Road-Frebis Road-SR104 Project (2746 DR. E). The goal of this project is to construct storm sewer improvements, sidewalk on both sides of Lockbourne Road, and ADA curb ramps from Frebis Avenue to SR 104.

Current plans for the improvements indicate Parcel 52-WD-1 and 52-WD-2, totaling 0.3475 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 dedicate the property as road right-of-way and name the road right-of-way as Smith Road and Lockbourne Road.
