Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service is currently engaged in a project identified as Traffic Signal Installation - Central College Road at Harlem Road. The purpose of this project is to construct a new traffic signal and widening the road for turn lanes at the intersection of Central College Road and Harlem Road. Striping and signage for all legs of the intersection will be modified to accommodate the new traffic signal. This project will also add an interconnect from Harlem to New Albany West on Central College Road.
During design of the Traffic Signal Installation - Central College Road at Harlem Road project it was determined a portion of real property owned by the City of Columbus known as 5785 Central College Road, Franklin County Parcel Number 010-292896, would need to be dedicated as right-of-way for roadway purposes to accommodate the improvements contemplated by this project. Current plans indicate 0.9307 acre will need to be dedicated for this purpose as road right-of-way, and the road right-of-way will be named as Central College Road. 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.
The following legislation permits the City to dedicate the property as road right-of-way and name the road right-of-way as Central College Road.
2. FISCAL IMPACT
