Additionally, franchisees shall relocate any transit shelters within thirty (30) days after their receipt of a written request to do so by the City as a result of redevelopment, traffic hazards or changes in bus routes. Any such relocation of a transit shelter shall be to a location mutually agreeable to both parties, but only after issuance of all necessary permits by the Director of Public Works. 1207.24: PUBLIC WORKS TO REGULATE INSTALLATION: The Director of Public Works shall regulate the installation of transit shelters and if, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, a shelter installation is hazardous, the Director may order a franchisee to take necessary steps at its own cost to remove or relocate the shelter or make the necessary repairs to correct the hazard. The Director of Public Works shall have the right to conduct reasonable inspections of shelters for this purpose. In regulating the installation of shelters, the Director of Public Works shall regulate the size of shelters installed, its orientation or placement on the site, and any preparatory or remedial site work. When the City has approved a location plan, a franchisee shall submit detailed amended plans showing any discrepancies between the site plan approved and the work completed. 1207.25: FORFEITURE: A.
