The City’s Department of Public Service (DPS) is engaged in the Poindexter Village Roadways Phase 2 (PID 590416-100003) Public Improvement Project (“Public Project”). The City must acquire certain fee simple title and lesser real property interests located in the vicinity of Mount Vernon Avenue and Ohio Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43203 (collectively, “Real Estate”) in order for DPS to timely complete the Public Project.
