Whenever the Council shall have, by Ordinance, ordered any street to be paved or otherwise improved, upon or across which the tracks of any steam, electric, interurban or street railroad exists, the Board shall, at the time said Board makes a written contract for and fixes the time for the completion of work described in such ordinance, by resolution, also fix the time within which any person having such steam, electric, interurban or street railroad tracks thereon, shall complete the reconstruction of the tracks and the roadbed of such tracks, in the manner provided in Sections 62.119 to 62.128 inclusive, and complete the paving in the manner specified in such ordinance, of the portion of such street, required by law, to be paved and kept in repair by such person, for the entire length of the street or portion thereof, used by such tracks and so ordered to be paved. In the case of any such street so ordered to be otherwise paved or improved, the Board shall fix a time within which any such person shall, in the manner specified in such ordinance, complete the paving or other improvement of such portion of such street, for the entire length of such street or portion thereof used by such tracks and ordered to be paved or otherwise improved. The Board by such resolution shall require such person to do the work specified therein, within the time so fixed. Said resolution shall refer to said ordinance for further particulars.
Such time shall not be less than the time specified in such contract for the completion of the work described therein and may be for such longer period as the Board shall deem proper. The Board shall cause a copy of the resolution, certified by its secretary, to be forthwith served upon such person. Service of such copy may be made by delivering personally to the manager, superintendent or agent of such person in this City. Proof of the service of such notice shall be made by the affidavit of the person making the same and the record thereof shall be kept in the office of the Board. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the Board from extending the time so fixed by it and specified in said resolution, for good cause, and prior to the expiration thereof, upon an application in writing made by such person. Upon the service of the copy of the resolution, as aforesaid, it shall be the duty of such person to prosecute the work specified in resolution with due diligence to completion, within the time so fixed, or within such time as so extended by the Board.
(Based on Sec. 9, Ord. No. 29,121, Eff. 3/18/14.)
Whenever any person having steam, electric, interurban or street railroad tracks upon or across any street that has already been paved with asphalt, vitrified brick, stone blocks, or other permanent pavement, shall desire to replace the rails of such tracks, or ties, or both, with new rails or ties, or both, such person shall, before commencing such work, give written notice to the Board of the person’s intention so to do. Thereupon the Board shall cause an inspection to be made of the portion of the street where it is so proposed to do such work or replacement; and if upon such inspection, the Board shall find that the pavement thereof or the tracks or the roadbed thereof, where it is proposed to do such work, has not been constructed in conformity with the provisions of Sections 62.119 to 62.128 inclusive, the Board shall, by resolution, order said person to reconstruct such tracks and roadbed and any part thereof, and to repave the said portion of such street in the same manner as provided in Sections 62.119 to 62.128 inclusive. The Board shall, in such resolution, fix the time within which the work therein described shall be done and shall cause a copy of such resolution to be served upon such person. Such service shall be made, proved and a record thereof kept, in the same manner provided for the service of the resolution mentioned in Section 62.125. The time specified in the order may be extended by the Board, for good cause, upon written application made by such person prior to the expiration of such time. If the Board shall find, upon such inspection, that the roadbed where it is proposed to lay such new rails or ties has been ballasted with broken stone or screened gravel, nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the Board at its discretion, from not requiring such roadbed to be reconstructed. If the distance for which such person shall desire to replace such rails, or ties, or both, shall be less than one hundred and fifty (150) feet, the Board may, at its discretion, grant a special permit to use such paving material in the work as the Board may prescribe; and if such permit is granted, all work or paving and repairing thereunder shall be done under the instruction and to the satisfaction of the Board.
Any person served with a copy of said resolution, as herein provided, is hereby required to prosecute the work specified therein diligently to completion within the time so fixed and stated therein, or within such time as may be extended by the Board.

A copy of said resolution shall be served upon said person in the manner provided for the service of the resolution mentioned in Section 62.125.

Upon expiration of any permit, any street banner covered thereby must be removed by the permittee within 72 hours of the date of expiration unless a renewal or written extension is granted by the Board. Any street banner not so removed may be removed by the Board without notice to the permittee.

(r) Commercial Content on Street Banners. Nothing in the general prohibition on street banners shall prevent a for-profit entity from receiving recognition on the street banners announcing an otherwise allowable Community, Charitable or Non-Profit event, or on permitted non-event street banners, provided that the recognition of the for-profit sponsorship shall be limited to the name and or logo of one for-profit sponsoring entity per street banner and the size of said name or logo shall be limited to less than 20% of the total area of the street banner. The City of Los Angeles may defray the cost of City of Los Angeles organized and administered events, and the cost of non-event street banners by allowing for-profit entities to co-sponsor City organized and administered events and non-event street banners, provided that the recognition of the for-profit entity’s co-sponsorship of City events, or non-event street banners is limited to the same size and content as for allowable Community, Charitable, or Non-Profit events or permitted non-event street banners. (Former Subsec. (q) Redesignated as Subsec. (r) by Ord. No. 176,630, Eff. 6/14/05.)
(s) The provisions of Article 7, Chapter 6, prohibiting certain outdoor advertising structures, post signs and advertising statuary adjacent to freeways, and establishing the procedure for the consideration and issuance of permits for such structures, signs and statuary, shall also apply in the same manner and degree to “Street Banner”.

(t) Street Banners – City Ownership after 30 Days. Up to 3% of the street banners included in any permit application and hung in the City of Los Angeles for more than 30 days may become the property of the City of Los Angeles, if a permittee is notified, at least three days prior to the expiration of the permit, that the City wishes to take possession of the street banners once they are removed from the City’s poles by the permittee. If so notified, the permittee shall return the banners to the City once they are removed from the City’s poles. If the City fails to notify the permittee at least three days before the expiration of the permit that it wishes to take possession of the banners, the City shall forfeit its right of ownership over said banners. (Former Subsec. (s) Redesignated as Subsec. (t) by Ord. No. 176,630, Eff. 6/14/05.)
