1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service is currently engaged in a project identified as Schiller Park Entrance project (3236 E). The goal of this project is to modify the northwest corner of the intersection of Jaeger Street and Deshler Avenue, also the existing drive entrance to Schiller Park, to construct a pedestrian refuge island and new ADA compliant curb ramps.
During design of the Schiller Park Entrance project, it was determined a portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus known as 1000 City Park Avenue, Franklin County Parcel Numbers, 010 066805 would need to be dedicated for roadway purposes to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project.

The following legislation permits the City to dedicate the property as road right of way and name the road right of way as Deshler Avenue.
