RESOLUTION: 2006-72
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing condemnation for property interests needed across 495 Wadsworth Boulevard and 1520 Kipling Street for the 2006 Traffic Safety Signal Project.
ADDRESS: 495 Wadsworth Boulevard and 1520 Kipling Street.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The City has been negotiating since April 21, 2006, to acquire needed property
interests from the properties at 495 Wadsworth Boulevard and 1520 Kipling Street.
This project is to improve the intersections at West 5th Avenue and Wadsworth
Boulevard and West Colfax Avenue and Kipling Street by replacing the existing
traffic signal with new traffic signals and constructing sidewalk improvements
to meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. These Improvements
will make the intersections safer for pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
A purchase agreement has not yet been reached with the owners at the above mentioned addresses. The City must act now to exercise its right of eminent domain to acquire these property interests and maintain the project schedule. Ordinance O 2005-40 authorized the acquisitions necessary for this project. It is anticipated that these owners will reach agreement with the City for the rights-of-way required without the need to actually file condemnation actions. In the event that condemnation is required, this resolution will preserve the construction schedule, which allows completion of this project during the 2007 construction season.
FUNDING SOURCE: This project is being funded by the Federal Safety Fund.
RESOLUTION ADOPTION DATE: November 13, 2006.
