Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a construction agreement with Camp Chase Railway in association with the Pedestrian Safety Improvement - Wilson Road Shared Use Path - Broad Street to Sullivant Avenue project.
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, is engaged in the Pedestrian Safety Improvement - Wilson Road Shared Use Path - Broad Street to Sullivant Avenue project, C.I.P. No. 590105-100083. The project objectives are to construct a pedestrian shared use path within the existing right of way from Sullivant Avenue north to Broad Street. Planned improvements include the construction of a shared use path (SUP) on the west side of Wilson Road from Sullivant Avenue to Broad Street, located in the Hilltop Area (Community Planning Area 15). Modifications will be made to the existing bridge and the alignment of the roadway to accommodate the path addition. The roadway will be widened north of Fremont Street to accommodate a southbound left turn lane. Opposite the new turn lane, a raised grassed median will be placed between Fremont and Wilson Park Way to support a path crossing at Freemont Street.
It is necessary to contract with Camp Chase Railway for work to be performed on or near the railroad. Camp Chase Railway will provide construction engineering and inspection work concerning its property as part of the project. The railroad will also provide flagmen, watchmen, and other protective services and devices to promote safety and continuity of train operations during the project. There is also a need for temporary track realignment and final track alignment as part of the project. The construction agreement will reimburse Camp Chase Railway the costs associated with these activities.
