§ 17. Removal of shelter.

A.

The council may order company to remove any shelter when it reasonably determines that it is no longer of any benefit to the public, when there is no longer a bus stop at the location or when it finds that maintenance is inadequate under Section 20 herein. If the city requires removal of a bus shelter because of relocation of all or part of a bus route, the city shall give the company a reasonable period of time to remove the shelters thereof. If the city requires the removal of more than four (4) bus shelters because of the relocation of a bus route, the reasonable costs of removing or relocating the shelters may be set off against the franchise fee due the city.

B.

If a shelter must be temporarily removed for construction done by any governmental unit or its contractor, company shall, after being given two (2) weeks' written notice, at its own cost remove the shelter promptly when requested to do so by the director of public works. The city may also, upon two (2) weeks' written notice, order the company to temporarily remove a shelter for an abutting owner's construction at such owner's expense. The city shall not be required to provide two (2) weeks' advance written notice when and in the event the removal of the shelter is required on account of an unexpected or emergency situation.

C.

If the company fails promptly to remove a shelter when ordered to do so by the director of public works or council, the city may have the shelter removed within thirty (30) days after written notice to the company, and the company shall pay the cost of removal or storage thereof.
