Right-of-Way Preservation and Restoration Policy
In an effort to improve the quality and service life of City streets, the City has adopted a right-of-way preservation and restoration policy. This policy is designed to protect newly constructed and improved streets by limiting utility cuts on these streets and imposing specific restoration requirements when they have to be cut. It also will ensure better coordination of construction projects among the various users of the City's rights-of-way by requiring that utilities provide notice of large utility projects and by placing a limitation on street cuts in the same area after the project is complete. The full text of the policy is in Chapter 15.04.135

of the Tigard Municipal Code.

This policy will not prevent all street cuts, which in some cases are the only way to repair damaged utility facilities or to provide service to utility customers. It will, however, limit unnecessary street cuts and ensure complete restoration of streets after necessary cuts.

The City maintains a list

and map of streets and street segments

that are protected by the policy. The City also has established restoration guidelines

that it will use to determine the restoration requirements when a protected street is cut.
