public easement n. the right of the general public to use certain streets, highways, paths or airspace. In most cases the easement came about through reservation of the right when land was deeded to individuals or by dedication of the land to the government. In some cases public easements come by prescription (use for many years) such as a pathway across private property down to the ocean. Beach access has been the source of controversy between government and private owners in many seaboard states. (See: easement, prescriptive easement) |

Under the original plan, the property would revert to Newhall Land if the arrangement failed, but a public easement would remain. Proceeds will finance the construction of road and right-of-way improvements, a public easement acquisition, a mass transit needs study, and construction of a trail/bikeway system. Newhall Land has proposed providing Los Angeles County with a public easement to the property and giving ownership and management duties to the private, nonprofit Center for Natural Lands Management. |
