In the event any street or portion thereof used by the licensee shall be vacated by the city or the use thereof discontinued by the licensee during the term of the franchise, the licensee shall forthwith remove its facilities therefrom unless specifically permitted to continue the same, and on the removal thereof restore, repair or reconstruct the street area where such removal has occurred, and place the street area where such removal has occurred to a condition similar to that existing before such removal took place. In the event of failure, neglect or refusal of the licensee, after 30 days’ notice by the city to repair, improve or maintain such street portion, the city may do such work or cause it to be done, and the cost thereof as found and declared by the city shall be paid by the licensee as directed by the city and collection may be made by court action or otherwise.
