(A) In the event that the use of any part of the system is discontinued for any reason by any franchisee for a continuous period of 12 months, or in the event such system or facility has been installed in rights-of-way without complying with requirements of this chapter, or the rights granted hereunder have been terminated, cancelled or have expired, the franchisee shall promptly remove from the rights-of-way all such facilities of such system, other than any which the city may permit to be abandoned in place.
(B) In the event of such removal, the franchisee shall promptly restore the rights-of-way from which such facilities have been removed to a condition satisfactory to the city. Any facilities of a franchisee to be abandoned in place, shall be abandoned in such manner as the city may prescribe. Upon a permanent abandonment of the facilities of a franchisee in place, the franchisee shall submit to the city an instrument to be approved by the city transferring to the city the ownership of such facilities.
