Are you a housing developer putting in a sidewalk in front of your new project? A homeowner adding a garden in your planting strip? A neighbor organizing a block party? All of these activities use one of the over 60 types of permits for use, occupation and/or construction in the City rights-of-way that are regularly issued by SDOT’s Street Use Division. SDOT tracks projects or activities in the street right-of-way to make sure that traffic stays moving with the right detours in place and that construction meets City standards.
