Re: Resolutions 56-25 through 61-25 – Intent to Appropriate Parcels for the
Northern Historic District Infrastructure Improvements (25-029-CIP)
Background
The Northern Historic Dublin Area Infrastructure Improvements project is focused on revitalizing
the North Riverview Street corridor within the Historic District. The goal is to create a pedestrian-
oriented environment that enhances connectivity, stimulates economic development, and links key
destinations such as The Dublin Link pedestrian bridge, Riverside Crossing Park, and Historic
Dublin.
To achieve this, the City is implementing a series of public infrastructure upgrades designed to
improve streetscapes, pedestrian access, and multimodal connectivity. Planned improvements
include improved intersections, new sidewalks and plazas, upgraded lighting, ADA-accessible
features, burial of overhead utilities and the use of historically appropriate materials such as brick
paver sidewalks and granite curbs to preserve the district’s character.
The project aims to establish a pedestrian-first environment that discourages through vehicular
traffic east of North High Street, improves safety, and supports alternative transportation modes.
These enhancements were informed by extensive planning efforts, traffic and parking studies, and
community engagement. Feedback from residents—particularly regarding traffic flow, parking, and
visual impacts—led to design refinements such as reduced on-street parking and the inclusion of
visual breaks to preserve park views.
This initiative aligns with the Envision Dublin Community Plan and the Historic District Area Plan,
both of which emphasize walkability, shared public spaces, and enhanced streetscapes.
Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with completion anticipated in 2027.
Summary
The City has retained West Erie Realty Solutions, Ltd (West Erie) to serve as the acquisition agent
for this project, which involves securing real estate from eight property owners. The City is directly
managing negotiations with two of these owners: Community Space Development LLC (COhatch)
and Dublin West D LLC (Crawford Hoying). For the remaining six property owners, West Erie is the
primary point of contact, working in close coordination with City staff to facilitate the acquisition
process.
Acquisitions
A Good Faith Offer Letter, the appraisal report, and associated information were provided by West
Erie to property owners in November 2025. The acquisitions consist of the following property
interests from the named property owners listed below and as depicted in the exhibits attached:

The City is hopeful that an amicable resolution can be reached with the property owners; however,
this Resolution begins the eminent domain process in the event that negotiations are unsuccessful.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolutions 56-25 through 61-25 to allow the Project to remain on
schedule and proceed to construction.
