Reporting Storm Damage

In the public right of way

If the fallen tree or branches are in the street, bike lanes, or sidewalk, or public right of way, report using the GoCOS! app. 

Right of way (R.O.W): The city-owned area of land designated for streets, sidewalks, and public use.  It includes the parkway between sidewalks and curbs.  Where sidewalks are attached to curbs, the R.O.W. extends a distance into the property.  The exact distance varies from street to street.
