Rules and Regulations for Work in the Right-of-Way

The following Rules and Regulations established by the City Engineer, as authorized by section 104-32 of the City Code, govern the policies and standards required for all work performed in the Right-of-Way. The Right-of-Way includes all City streets, street pavement, curbing, sidewalks, the area between the curb and the sidewalk, and in most residential areas it generally includes a zero (0) to four (4) foot width of land between the sidewalk and the home.

These Rules and Regulations have been developed to:

1. Protect and preserve the Right-of-Way, one of the City’s most valuable assets;
2. Protect the health and safety of drivers, pedestrians, citizens and visitors using the Right-of-Way;
3. Ensure that Permittees minimize disruptions to the public, businesses, and the City; and
4. Ensure that Permittees properly and sufficiently restore the Work Area once the work is complete.
