The purpose of the A-Permit is to allow minor street constructionImage of sidewalk, bike racks, planter and parklet on a downtown street in the public right-of-way. The public right-of-way generally consists of street easements that contain City streets, lanes, alleys, parkways, and sidewalks. Prior to starting an application, City staff will confirm if the A-Permit being applied for is a valid request (vetting process documented under each construction type).
