1. BACKGROUND
The City has determined that the design and implementation of public improvements directly affect the public health, safety and welfare of citizens who are utilizing the streets, roadways and other public properties as well as the aesthetic character of the City. The City of Columbus has also made a significant investment for the relocation and burial of previously existing overhead utility lines within the West Third Avenue - Grandview Yard Underground District. As a result, the Public Service Department is recommending that City Council establish the “West Third Avenue - Grandview Yard Underground Utilities District” in order to protect the City’s investment and perpetually maintain the resulting aesthetic improvement of these roadways. The District is bounded and described as follows:
