# PROW Renewal

North Park Public Right of Way “PROW” Permit
Does your North Park business have exterior signage? Do you use the sidewalk for business purposes? Do you have outside seating?
Each year you need to apply for a FREE public right of way “PROW” permit. North Park Main Street grants these permits to businesses in North Park. Read the city requirements here.
The public right of way (PROW) is defined as the space between the curb and the adjacent property line of a business. The purpose of PROW is to optimize the growth and income of retail businesses and restaurants. The program encourages pedestrian traffic and beautification of the streetscape. North Park’s Public Right of Way Program is managed by North Park Main Street on behalf of the City of San Diego.
Please note that PROW permits through North Park Main Street do not cover permanent fixtures like railings. If you want to install permanent fixtures, you will need to apply for spaces as places permit. Click here to learn more
