Permits and Right-of-way Management
The management of the public rights-of-way is to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the city and users of the rights-of-way within the city as well as ensure the structural integrity of the public rights-of-way.
Since the taxpayers bear the financial burden of maintaining the infrastructure, the City desires to minimize and anticipate the number of excavations taking place, regulate the placement of facilities within the rights-of-way, and ensure that the work is performed safely and restored in a manner that minimizes the loss of infrastructure integrity.
