public easement

A public easement is an easement that gives all people (the public) the right to use and enjoy a tract of property such as a street, sidewalk, park, or beach.

In Arizona, a public easement is a type of right-of-way that allows the general public to use and access certain pieces of land for specific purposes, such as streets, sidewalks, parks, or beaches. Public easements are typically established by the government or through dedication by a private landowner for public use. These easements are recorded and maintained in public records. Arizona state statutes and local ordinances govern the creation, use, and regulation of public easements. The maintenance of public easements is often the responsibility of local government entities, and any obstruction or unauthorized use of these easements may be subject to legal action to restore public access. It's important to note that while the public has the right to use these easements, the underlying property may still be privately owned, and the property owner retains certain rights subject to the easement's limitations.
