Whenever after January 1, 1973, a city or mass transit district, whether or not acting pursuant to its police powers or condemnation authority, restricts use of the street traffic lane immediately adjacent to a sidewalk abutting commercial property to public conveyances and the existing access to that property by the general public by means of private conveyances is thereby prohibited or materially restricted for more than six hours in any 24-hour period, the city or mass transit district shall be liable for and shall pay the difference between the fair market value of the property prior to the restriction and the fair market value of the property subsequent to the restriction, taking into account any special benefits to the property resulting from improvements made by the city or mass transit district in connection with the restriction. The fact that other access to the property from a public way is available shall relieve the city or mass transit district from liability if the other access is reasonably equal to the access prohibited or materially restricted.

Any party to any such action has the right to appeal from the judgment of the circuit court as in other actions.

[1973 c.702 �3; 2003 c.576 �241]
����� 105.865 Apportioning compensation among property owners; termination of city liability. (1) The circuit court shall, in its general judgment, apportion such just compensation as it may award among the various persons found by it to own or have some right, title or interest in such real property. The awarded compensation shall be apportioned according to the rules of law governing the distribution of awards made when real property is taken under the power of eminent domain.
����� (2) The liability of the city terminates wholly when it pays into court the sums determined by the circuit court to be just compensation. [1973 c.702 �4; 2003 c.576 �242]
����� 105.870 Limitation on commencement of action. Any cause of action granted by ORS 105.850 to 105.870 is barred unless such action is commenced within 60 days after the date upon which the change of use becomes effective and use of the streets is prohibited or restricted. [1973 c.702 �5]
