Re: Ordinance 69-22 – Conveyance of an Easement on City Property for the
Franklin Street Extension Project (21-012-CIP)
Summary
The Franklin Street Extension Project (Project) will construct an extension of Franklin Street from
West Bridge Street north to North Street and reconstruct Franklin Street from West Bridge Street
south to Sells Alley as shown on the attached exhibit. The Project will construct the roadway,
install permeable paver parking bays, brick paver sidewalks, street trees, street lighting, and bury
the overhead utility lines from Sells Alley to North Street. The intersection of West Bridge Street
and Franklin Street will be signalized and include pedestrian crossings. Finally, the temporary
pedestrian crossing of West Bridge Street at Darby Street will be removed. Presently, this Project is
planned to start construction in early 2023 and is anticipated to be complete in the fall of 2023.
Acquisition
This ordinance provides the Ohio Power Company (also known as AEP Ohio) with a required
easement on City owned property for routing of the existing primary overhead electric lines and
placing them underground. The easement will also provide for the installation of necessary above
ground electrical components. Locating these items on City property allows the City to keep these
units off private property and provides the ability to perform landscaping installation and future
maintenance.
The Project also requires acquisition from four (4) privately owned parcels. The property
acquisitions for the privately owned parcels are ongoing and are expected to be finalized within
the next four (4) months. All private landowners have signed right-of-entry agreements allowing
the City to access and make changes to the areas impacted by the Project.
The utility easement located within the Project area on City property consists of the following
property as depicted in the attached exhibit:
