Managing public rights-of-way (ROW) is a critical function for local municipalities. ROW areas include streets, sidewalks, and other public spaces that must be carefully managed to ensure public safety, accessibility, and effective use. Right-of-way management coordinates various activities like construction, maintenance, and utility installations.
Municipalities often face challenges in handling these tasks because these activities require permits, inspections, and communication with multiple stakeholders. Outdated systems, manual processes, and a lack of coordination between departments are common challenges that lead to delays, increased costs, and public safety concerns.
