Further extensions are allowed upon mutual agreement. • The limits of the use of the City's public right of way secured by this agreement are consistent with the OC Streetcar alignment. • This agreement does not include provisions for parcels of property owned by the City outside of the City's public right of way. • The City and all third parties must secure a permit from the OCTA when working within the OCTA's controlled work access limits - generally 10' from the overhead contact system (poles, span wires, and contact wire) and within 4' of any rail. • The City and OCTA agree to keep each other informed about future projects that may impact the others' use of the right of way. • There is no cost associated with the cooperative agreement.
