§ 4955.36.
Every railroad company shall destroy or remove plants, trees, brush, or other obstructive
vegetation upon its right-of-way at each intersection with a public road or highway,
for a distance of six hundred feet or a reasonably safe distance from the roadway
of such public road or highway as shall be determined by the public utilities commission. When any railroad company fails to destroy or remove such vegetation after ten-day
written notice served on its local agent, the commission, board of county commissioners,
board of township trustees, or legislative authority of a municipal corporation, in
which the intersection is located, having the care of such road or highway, shall
remove such plants, trees, brush, or other obstructive vegetation and shall recover
the cost of removal from the responsible railroad company. If the company fails to pay the amount demanded within thirty days, after such company
has been notified by certified mail at the address to which tax bills are sent, the
commission, board of county commissioners, board of township trustees, or legislative
authority of a municipal corporation shall certify the amount demanded to the county
auditor of the county in which the work was performed to be collected as other taxes
and assessments and upon collection shall be credited to the general fund of the public
body causing said work to be performed.
