The Commissioner of Public Property, on behalf of the City, is authorized to acquire by purchase, condemnation, deed in lieu of condemnation, donation, dedication, or otherwise, title or other interests in parcels of land along the K & T Trail that are identified in Section 2 of this Ordinance.

Land within the right-of-way of the former Kensington and Tacony Railroad, and bounded as follows: 1. on the SOUTH by south end of the Old Frankford Creek railroad bridge; 2. on the NORTH by south side of Princeton Avenue; and 3. including the spur that starts between Knorr Street and Princeton Avenue, curves northwest, and terminates at Milnor Street. B. Land along the Delaware River bounded as follows: 1. on the SOUTH by the north side of Unruh Street; 2. on the NORTH by the south boundary of the Pennsylvania State Fish and Boat Commission Property that lies northeast of Tacony Park; 3. on the EAST by the Bulkhead Line of the west side of the Delaware River as amended by the Secretary of War September 10, 1940. If due to erosion or accretion the line along the top bank of the west side of the Delaware River has substantially moved away from the Bulkhead Line, then the most westerly top bank line of the river is the eastern boundary of the land subject to this ordinance; and 4. on the WEST, a line 50 feet west of the eastern boundary. SECTION 3. The City Solicitor is authorized to review and approve all documents necessary to complete the acquisitions authorized by this Ordinance. The City Solicitor is further authorized to include in those documents provisions that the City Solicitor deems necessary and desirable to protect the interests of the City. ..End
