CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO
RESOLUTION NO. 46-15
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CONVEYANCE OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
TO THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE
STATE HIGHWAY 50 RESURFACING PROJECT
RECITALS.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has designed and will be implementing Project No. NHPP 0501-065 to resurface State Highway 50 from South Avenue to 29 Road within the limits of the City of Grand Junction (CDOT Project).
In conjunction with the CDOT Project, CDOT is required to install curb ramps in compliance with ADA standards at intersections with city streets. CDOT proposes to incorporate best practices for curb ramps to meet the Proposed Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (ADA Standards).
The ADA Standards proposed by CDOT requires the acquisition by CDOT of 9.41 square feet of right-of-way from City property located at the southeast corner of South Avenue and State Highway 50, also known as South 5th Street. The right-of-way required by CDOT is identified as CDOT Parcel No. 101.
The City Council has determined that the conveyance of CDOT Parcel No. 101, containing 9.41 square feet to accommodate the installation of curb ramps in accordance with ADA Standards, is reasonable and necessary to the public health, safety and welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Grand Junction does hereby authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a Quitclaim Deed, together with any and all other documents as may be reasonably necessary or customary, to convey CDOT Parcel No. 101, containing 9.41 square feet as depicted on Exhibit A, to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Dated this 18th day of November, 2015.
