Upon expiration of a franchise, whether by lapse of time, by agreement between the franchisee and the city, or by forfeiture thereof, the franchisee shall remove, at its sole cost, from the rights-of-way any and all of its facilities that are the subject of such franchise within a reasonable time after such expiration, not to exceed 90 days, and, it shall be the duty of the franchisee immediately upon such removal to restore the rights-of-way from which the facilities are removed to as good condition as the same were before the removal was effected and as required by the city. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the city may allow facilities to be left in place when the city determines, in its sole discretion, that it is not practical or desirable to require removal.
