4.20.114.39   Removal and abandonment of property of franchisee.
   4.20.114.39.1.   Franchisee shall "wreck-out" or remove a cable system from any city street following termination or expiration of franchise. In the event that the use off:
   4.20.114.39.1.1.   A substantial part of the cable system; or
   4.20.114.39.1.2.   A part of the cable system is interfering with the city rights-of-way; or
   4.20.114.39.1.3.   A part of the system which is visible or accessible to the public or is capable of causing a safety hazard, is discontinued for any reason for a continuous period of ninety (90) days, or the city has terminated, canceled, revoked or affirmatively denied renewal of the franchise, a franchisee shall promptly at its own expense and upon written notice remove from the city all such property and poles of such cable system other than any which the city permits to be abandoned in place.
   4.20.114.39.2.   In the event of such removal, a franchisee shall at its own expense promptly replace or repair and restore the street or other area from which such property has been removed to its prior condition, or better, as is reasonably possible consistent with applicable ordinances, codes and regulations of the city as determined by the city. The franchisee may be permitted to abandon in place the underground portion of its cable system, provided that no portion of such cable system is accessible to the public or is capable of causing a safety hazard subject to the right of the city to require that the franchisee remove such underground portion of the cable system which interferes with roadwork or other road construction. In the event that any part of such cable system or property has been installed in any street or public place without complying with the requirements of the ordinance codified in this title or the franchise agreement, then the city may require the franchisee either to remedy such noncompliance, or if the franchisee should fail to remedy such non-compliance within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice by the city, to remove such part of the cable system as provided in this subsection.
