A RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS THE INTENT OF VILLAGE COUNCIL REGARDING A CERTAIN APPROPRIATION PROPOSAL
Introduced by Mr. Gordon.
WHEREAS, some residents of the Village of Riverlea have requested that Village Council take actions to construct a pedestrian pathway from Riverglen Drive in the Village to Evening Street in the City of Worthington, over real property that was originally platted as a part of Pioneer Street in the Village, but for which property the public use for street purposes has been vacated by the Village, and such property now is in private ownership; and
WHEREAS, although Village Council desires to consider all alternatives available to establish safe pedestrian ways for use by Village residents and visitors, Village Council also desires to provide assurances to Village residents and to the property owners that would be affected by construction of a pathway in such location that the Village does not intend to acquire an interest in private property for pathway purposes without the agreement of the affected property owners to such an acquisition.
