Common areas or Right of Ways are conveniences used by many, and are usually governed by ordinances. For example, maintenance of property which is considered within the right of way of a residence will likely be the homeowners responsibility to keep in good condition (ie., lawn maintenance). However, trimming trees in the common area would be the responsibility of the City, or if power lines are present, a combination of City staff and the affiliated power company.

This can be confusing. The following information seeks to provide information on handling and contact points. More detail can also be obtained by review of City ordinances.

Many of the City parking areas have time limits for parking. If the time limit is exceeded, a parking citation may result.
