The Right of Way Division, part of Capital Projects and Development Engineering, manages permits for construction within the city’s ROW. A city right of way is land owned or controlled by the city, including roadways, streets, sidewalks, alleys, and easements. Private companies may use these areas for utilities, but public needs take priority.
