Questions about this bond
Does public space mean only the road pavement?
DDOT includes areas such as tree space and sidewalks between relevant property lines. Identify the actual site and activity.
Is every public-space permit covered by the same bond?
That is not established by the general permit directory. Obtain the actual security request.
Does the provider application replace TOPS?
No. The bond application and issued-document filing are separate from DDOT permit review.
