¿Qué es el derecho de paso (ROW)?

A public right-of-way is how the public travels within the City limits. Land within the right-of-way may be used for public streets, sidewalks, curbs, alleys, portions of driveways, public and private utilities, etc. Right-of-way width varies by location and often extends well into what appears to be private property.

El derecho de paso es también donde las empresas de servicios públicos instalan sus líneas, incluyendo electricidad, agua, alcantarillado, cable, teléfono y fibra óptica. Además, la ciudad cuenta con servicios públicos como agua, alcantarillado y aguas pluviales ubicados dentro del derecho de paso. Los contadores de agua de las propiedades individuales que son propiedad y están mantenidas por la ciudad se encuentran fuera de la calzada y las aceras y suelen estar situados en zonas ajardinadas dentro del derecho de paso.

Permanent utility easements may also exist within private property and can be obtained through a title report. Property owners are responsible for clearing obstructions in the right-of-way. These include overgrown private trees, plants, shrubs, grass, or vegetation extending from their front door to the curb. [Chapter 3.30, Bend Municipal Code]. Additionally, property owners are responsible to clear snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property [Chapter 5.35.020, Bend Municipal Code].

There are some selective opportunities for stormwater improvements that will be adjacent to the waterline improvements. There are some selective opportunities for stormwater improvements that will be adjacent to the waterline improvements and a portion of the voter-approved 2020 Transportation GO Bond Portland Avenue improvements.
