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 Delaware, a public easement is a legal right that allows the public to use certain pieces of property for specific purposes, such as streets, sidewalks, parks, or beaches. These easements are typically established by the government and are recorded in the property's deed or land records. Public easements ensure that areas intended for public use remain accessible to everyone and cannot be obstructed or restricted by private property owners. The maintenance and regulation of public easements, such as streets and sidewalks, often fall under the jurisdiction of local municipalities, while state or federal agencies may oversee larger public spaces like parks and beaches. It's important to note that while the public has the right to use these easements, there are usually regulations in place that govern the manner of use to ensure safety and public welfare.
