Permits are required for any work in the public right-of-way of City streets. Work in the right-of-way of Hwy 26 requires a permit from ODOT (Oregon Department of Transportation). The exception is that portion of eastbound Hwy 26 (Pioneer Blvd.) between Bluff Rd. and Ten Eyck ‘behind’ the curb line; a permit from the City is required in this area, ODOT permits are required for any work between the curb lines.
