What is public right-of-way and why do we need it?
The public right-of-way refers to the land area dedicated to public use, typically for pedestrian and vehicular movement. The public right-of-way is controlled and generally maintained by a public agency, such as the City, County, State, or Federal government. Public rights-of-way can include streets, alleys, sidewalks, paths, landscaping, drainage facilities, lighting, and other utilities and infrastructure.
