Update city law governing encroachments into public streets and rights-of-way
In Plain English
The city currently has 2 separate chapters governing when utilities, businesses, and property owners can use public street space. The new law combines these into 1 chapter and adds rules for private property owners who encroach into public rights-of-way. If approved, property owners must get permits for structures like fences or driveways extending into city property.
