Right-of-Way Maintenance (ROW)

ROW is the landscaped strip of land along Glendale’s arterial streets for which the city is responsible for maintaining. These areas typically have trees, shrubs, plants and irrigation systems that must be regularly maintained (called developed right-of-way).

The city also is responsible for maintaining certain areas, such as city owned properties, alleys and roadsides that are not landscaped (called undeveloped right-of-way).

• How often are my neighborhood streets cleaned?
  Residential streets, curbs and gutters are cleaned once every four to five weeks.
