Re: Ordinances 04-26 through 06-26 – Authorizing Appropriations of Right-of-
Way and Easements for the Northern Historic District Infrastructure
Improvements (25-029-CIP)
Background
The Northern Historic Dublin Area Infrastructure Improvements project (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 (8) property owners. The City is
directly managing negotiations with two (2) of these owners: Community Space Development LLC
(COhatch) and Dublin West D LLC (Crawford Hoying). For the remaining six property owners, West
Erie serves as the primary point of contact, working closely with City staff members to facilitate the
acquisition process. The City has been able to reach an agreement to obtain three (3) of the six
(6) acquisitions necessary for the Project, resulting in Ordinances 02-26 and 03-26, with a further
Ordinance expected to be presented for first reading on February 9. However, the City has not
been able to reach an agreement in terms of the compensation for the needed right-of-way and
easements with the property owners of the three (3) remaining acquisitions. The City is hopeful
that an amicable agreement can still be reached with each of the remaining property owners;

however, Ordinances 04-26 through 06-26 are necessary to continue the appropriation process
through eminent domain in the event negotiations are unsuccessful.

Erie to six (6) property owners in November 2025. The acquisitions consist of the following
