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 Wyoming, a public easement is a type of right-of-way that allows the general public to use and enjoy certain pieces of property, which can include streets, sidewalks, parks, or beaches. These easements are typically created by a dedication of property to the public by a private landowner, by prescription through long-term public use, or by explicit reservation by the government. Public easements are governed by state statutes and local ordinances that outline the extent of the public's rights and the responsibilities of the property owner. For instance, Wyoming Statute Title 34 - Property, Conveyances and Security Transactions, may contain provisions related to easements. Additionally, local government bodies, such as city councils or county commissioners, may enact regulations that further define and regulate the use of public easements within their jurisdictions. It is important for property owners and the public to be aware of these regulations to ensure the proper use and maintenance of these shared spaces.
