What is public right of way?
A public right of way designates specific land set aside for use by authorized public entities, playing a pivotal role in facilitating utility services such as those provided by Mid-Hudson Fiber. When you become a homeowner, these rights are formally delineated, allowing utilities to exercise the authority to construct and maintain vital infrastructure. This encompasses not only the initial installation of utility systems but also the periodic repairs and necessary enhancements required to guarantee a dependable and high-quality internet service experience for the entire community.
In essence, public rights of way serve as a legal framework that ensures utilities have the necessary access to the land for the purpose of providing essential services. While they grant utilities the privilege to make use of this land, it’s important to note that specific connections to your home’s network are typically established with your explicit consent when you choose to subscribe to Mid-Hudson Fiber’s services. Consequently, ongoing access to these rights of way enables the continued improvement and maintenance of the infrastructure, ultimately contributing to the overall reliability and performance of internet services in your area.
