(A) Abandonment. If use of any part of the cable system is discontinued for any reason for a period of 90 consecutive days or if such system or property has been installed in any street or public place without complying with the requirements of the franchise agreement or this chapter, or the franchise has been terminated, cancelled or has expired, the grantee shall promptly, upon being given 30 days' written notice from the city, remove from the streets or public places all such property and poles of such cable system or, at the option of the city, such property may be abandoned in place. Upon removal of the system, the grantee shall promptly restore the street or other area from which such property has been removed to a condition reasonably satisfactory to the Director of Public Works.
