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 Connecticut, a public easement is a legal right that allows the general public to use certain pieces of property for specific purposes, such as streets, sidewalks, parks, or beaches. These easements are typically created by a grant, reservation, agreement, or government regulation. Public easements are often established for transportation, utility infrastructure, or public recreation. The state statutes and local ordinances govern the creation, regulation, and enforcement of public easements. Connecticut General Statutes may contain provisions related to public easements, and local governments may have additional regulations that manage public access and use of these areas. It is important to note that while the public has the right to use property subject to a public easement, the property owner retains ownership and certain rights, subject to the limitations of the easement.
