The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, received a request from the property owner, Scioto Peninsula Holdings, LTD, asking that the City allow 8 Foundations for columns to encroach into the public right-of-way and to run private electric to these encroachments and foundations. These encroachments will be along a private alley known as High Water Alley and within the public right-of-way located along the north and south side of State Street and Rush Alley.
