Relocation of equipment and facilities.
Tulsa Revised Ordinances tit. 11, § 1215
in effectSection 1215. - Relocation of equipment and facilities.
A ROW occupant or permittee must promptly and at its own expense, with due regard for seasonal working conditions, permanently relocate its equipment and facilities in the arterial rights-of-way upon written notification by the Director of Public Works. The ROW administrator shall forward a recommendation upon careful determination of the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the public regarding any such relocation. Such relocation shall include restoring the arterial rights-of-way to the same condition it was in prior to said relocation, in accordance with the terms of this chapter. A ROW occupant shall, within six (6) months, at its own expense, protect or modify any part of its facility when required by the City by reason of traffic safety, public safety, road construction, change of street grade, installation of water, stormwater or sanitary pipes, traffic-signal devices or any other types of City improvement projects. The ROW administrator may recommend such actions in order to prevent interference by the ROW occupant's facilities with: a present or future City use of the arterial rights-of-way; or a capital improvement project funded and scheduled to be undertaken by the City; or an economic development project in which the City has an interest or investment. The ROW administrator may also recommend such actions: when the public health, safety and welfare require it; or when necessary to prevent interference with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel over the arterial rights-of-way, both vehicular and pedestrian; or when aboveground equipment is located in such a manner as to create an obstruction to a driver's line of sight. The ROW occupant may for due cause make application to the Public Works Director for an extension to complete such relocation as required by this section.
The foregoing does not alter a ROW occupant's prior rights or obligations within an existing easement established prior to the dedication of rights-of-way in establishing the party responsible for the expense of any required relocation of equipment.
