4.7 Right of Way Footprint Determination
After the preliminary engineering tasks are complete, the District reviews have occurred, and the geometric schematic has been presented to the public for stakeholder feedback, the ROW footprint should be established to allow the ROW surveying and the environmental technical studies to be started.
All design, coordination and public involvement should be completed to such a level as to clearly establish the limits of ROW on the geometric schematic at this time.
4.7.1 ROW Surveying
See
for discussion on ROW surveying and preparing the needed ROW parcels and property descriptions.
4.7.2 Environmental Technical Studies
See
for discussion on the environmental process and technical studies that are needed in order to obtain environmental clearance. The ROW footprint should be firmly established to begin detailed environmental studies.
This is a critical step in the project development process. Changes to the ROW footprint after this point could result in environmental studies rework and could negatively impact the project’s schedule and budget.
