E 234 Improvements Abutting Railroad and Public Property

Complete street improvements abutting land owned by a railroad or a governmental agency, when provided, are financed as follows:

1. Operative Railroad Right-of-Way:
   1. Capital Improvement Projects — City may pay for pavement, street lighting, and curb and gutter.
   2. Assessment Projects — City may pay for pavement, street lighting, and a portion of curb and gutter. Railroads should pay for improvements according to the benefit received. Reference: Council File No. 90,947.
2. Developed Federal and State property, or County property used in the public service — City will pay for all improvement costs but will seek reimbursement for betterments installed at request of agency.
3. Developed City property under the jurisdiction of the Departments of Library or Recreation and Parks — Departments are expected to provide all necessary right of way insofar as legally possible. Capital Program Funds should be used for all improvements.
4. Developed property under the jurisdiction of the Departments of Water and Power, Harbor, or Airports — Departmental funds should be used for all improvements insofar as legally possible.
5. Property being acquired and developed under new bond funds programs or operating department funds — Full street improvements as may be necessary for the operation of the facilities should be provided for in connection with all City operating plant construction projects. Future bond funds or departmental funds will be used to pay for all local street improvement costs; gas tax funds may be used for Select System Street improvements. Where current bond funds can be used and are available, they should be used to finance street improvements needed in conjunction with the facilities. Where such funds are not available, Capital Improvement Program Funds may be used.
