Right-of-Way Permits

All private construction and/or maintenance activities which take place within the City right-of-way are subject to oversight by the City. This is most usually accomplished via a permit application and review process. The most commonly requested permits fall into the following categories:

  • Special events (e.g. parades, block parties, carnivals, road festivals, etc.) which are to be held in whole or part in municipal streets and rights-of-way are regulated by way of a permit process.
  • Sidewalk and driveway construction/repair which takes place within City right-of-way is regulated by a permit process in order to assure optimal user safety. Permit applications and further information is available as cited below.
  • Utility construction and maintenance activities are also regulated by permit. Questions regarding the activities of a particular utility within the right-of-way may be directed to the phone number below.
