The license period is from January 1 – December 31. New permit applications must be approved by the Transportation Affairs Committee and Common Council. (Municipal Code Chapter 12.32)
If you are looking to temporarily place materials in the street right-of-way during construction only, then please apply for a Storage in the Right-of-Way (ROW) permit.
