Explanation
The City of Columbus has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Columbus Board of Education relative to the development of an Ohio State University-owned childcare facility to be located adjacent to Weinland Park and physically connected to Weinland Park Elementary School. The old Weinland Park Elementary School has been demolished and construction of the new elementary school building and childcare facility is scheduled to begin later this summer. To accommodate the proposed design of these facilities Columbus Public Schools has asked the City of Columbus to vacate the first alley east of Summit Street from Seventh Avenue to its southern terminus. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments, private utilities and applicable area commissions, before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon vacation of this alley. The following legislation vacates the first alley east of Summit Street from Seventh Avenue to its southern terminus subject to the retention of a general utility easement for those utilities currently located within this alley.
