For Peace of Mind, ESPN Wants a Piece of Road

ESPN is asking the city for a portion of Ronzo Road. It's the part that starts after the Locknetics driveway and runs only to ESPN buildings and parking lots.

The company owns the land on both sides of the road and wants the piece of public road to improve employee safety and security on its sprawling campus.

ESPN first raised the issue with Mayor Art Ward in early June, Mike Soltys, an ESPN executive told me.

City councilors will consider the request at their meeting Tuesday night.

The diagram at the top of this post is part of the paperwork ESPN filed with the city in hopes of getting the piece of the road.
