public easement n. the right of the general public to use certain streets, highways, paths or airspace.

In some cases public easements come by prescription (use for many years) such as a pathway across private property down to the ocean.

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. |
