Frequently Asked Questions

A right of way is a type of easement granted or reserved over the land for transportation purposes, such as streets, sidewalks, bike paths, as well as utilities.

If you see something obstructing street signage or lights, or a sign/traffic light that has been broken, please call us immediately at 801-483-6045. 

Some basic maintenance of sidewalks is expected from the owners of residences directly adjacent to that sidewalk. However, the City also has some capital funds for sidewalk maintenance. If your sidewalk is no longer navigable or could provide a trip hazard for pedestrians, please contact us at 801-483-6045.

If you believe a tree is blocking drivers’ vision, is obscuring a street sign or traffic light, or is otherwise presenting a danger to pedestrians or drivers, please contact us immediately at 801-483-6045. Please do not contact us for aesthetic tree trimming.

Most, but not all, streetlights in South Salt Lake are owned and operated by Rocky Mountain Power. If you see a streetlight that is out, click here to report it to us and we will work to fix it if it is city owned or escalate the report to Rocky Mountain Power for fixing.
