Melton, Justice.

The City of Atlanta (“City”) appeals from an order of the Superior Court of Fulton County which required the City to, among other things, compensate Sig Samuels Laundry and Dry Cleaning (“Sig Samuels”) for a purported taking of Sig Samuels’ property in connection with the installation of a sidewalk on the City’s own right-of-way. For the reasons that follow, we reverse.
