Description
Identify and avoid pitfalls that can delay or increase costs of rightofway acquisition.
Roadways exist to serve our transportation needs. Rightofways (ROW) are areas designated for that purpose. However, effective establishment and operations can be complicated due to technical and legal factors and rules and regulations. The consequences of mistakes due to ignorance or disregarding various intricacies of ROW can be both devastating in duration and intensity. How street smart are you about ROW? This presentation is intended to proactively equip and educate policy makers, design professionals, public administrators, and developers with the following topics. How have ROW evolved? Why are they needed? Who is involved with their creation? What legalities do I need to know? When are they established, modified, or terminated? Where can I find more information? Learning these as well what options exists, the rights and responsibilities of users and possessors, and what pitfalls to avoid at this time will minimize unnecessary expenses delays, and heartburn in the future.
