(A) Reservation of right. If the city vacates a public right-of-way that contains the facilities of a public right-of-way user and the vacation does not require the relocation of the facilities, the city must reserve, for itself and the public right-of-way user, the right to install, maintain and operate facilities in the vacated public right-of-way and to enter upon the public right-of-way at any time for the purpose of reconstruction, inspecting, maintaining or repairing the facilities.
(B) Relocation of facilities. If the local government unit vacates a right-of-way that contains the facilities of a right-of-way user and the right-of-way vacation requires the relocation of the right-of-way user’s facilities, payment of the relocation costs must be determined as follows: (1) if the vacation proceedings are initiated by the right-of-way user, the right-of-way user must pay the relocation costs; (2) if the vacation proceedings are initiated by the local government unit for a public project, the right-of-way user must pay the relocation costs unless otherwise agreed to by the local government unit and the right-of-way user; or (3) if the vacation proceedings are initiated for the purpose of benefitting a person other than the right-of-way user, the benefitted person must pay the relocation costs.
