Best Practices for Managing Utility Congestion Within Rights-of-Way

March 31, 2020 by Micaela Kranz

A utility crew removes abandoned infrastructure pipes in Chaska, Minnesota. Congestion of utility lines within the right of way (ROW) has become a challenge for local agencies.  The LRRB has developed a succinct and accessible best practices guide for managing utilities within the ROW. The guide focuses on the requirements of Minnesota statutes, including the powers they grant to local agencies to issue permits, require quality mapping and expect timely progress. It also provides recommendations for effective communication between city and county agencies and utility organizations, which was understood to be a principal issue underlying challenges in these projects.
