Article 6. Construction of Canal Crossings |
§ 7-1.601. Purpose.
Urbanization of lands in the vicinity of irrigation canals creates a need for major and collector street crossings of the canals to meet the needs of local traffic and to provide access to other areas of the community. The Council hereby finds that property in the immediate vicinity of street crossings of canals and the general public both benefit in approximately equal amounts from such crossings. Therefore, in order to protect the public safety and provide for the general welfare, the Council has determined that property in the vicinity of new major and collector street crossings of irrigation canals should pay approximately one-half the cost of constructing such crossings.
