Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, is currently engaged in a project identified as Signal Installation - Parsons Avenue at Innis Avenue project. This project replaces the existing span wire mounted signals with mast arms and constructs ADA compliant curb ramps at the intersection of Parsons Avenue and Innis Avenue.
During design of the Signal Installation - Parsons Avenue at Innis Avenue project it was determined a portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus known as 1833 Parsons Avenue, Franklin County Parcel Number 010-044235, would need to be dedicated as right-of-way for roadway purposes to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project. Current plans for the improvements indicate 0.016 acre will need to be dedicated 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.
This legislation permits the City to dedicate the property as road right-of-way and name the road right-of-way as Parsons Avenue.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
Not applicable.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested so that construction of the proposed improvements for the Signal Installation - Parsons Avenue at Innis Avenue project can proceed without delay.
