(A) Failure to use the spur track for a continuous period of six months shall constitute an abandonment of the spur track. Thirty days after notice to the grantee of such abandonment, the franchise and all rights and privileges granted thereunder shall be deemed to be null and void, unless:
(1) The City Council by order or resolution entered in its minutes or by ordinance, consents to such nonuse.
(2) Such failure is caused by strikes, acts of God or other causes beyond reasonable control of the grantee.
(B) In the event of abandonment, lapse or expiration of the franchise or termination of the franchise by the City Council for noncompliance, the grantee shall remove all rails, ties, poles and appurtenances from the street, and shall reconstruct the pavement and other street improvements adjacent to the tracks so that the work shall join and be continuous with the work done in adjoining portions of the street. The grantee shall perform all of the work within six months from the termination of the franchise. Such work shall be done at no cost to the city and shall be done to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works.
