Clarification on “private property”

[cyndiepooh]

There is a clarification on these, but it is still a murky area.

Little Free Libraries

Little Free Libraries (LFL) can be eligible for nomination, but their location is critical to whether they can be accepted. Little Free Libraries with safe access on sidewalks outside of apartment buildings or on municipal or communal property are eligible. Those on single-family private residential properties (SFPRP) are ineligible. [image] :+1:The LFL above is a good example of an eligible Waypoint. It is on public property and is well-maintained. It faces the sidewalk, does not block acces…

@NianticTintino

If a LFL is placed on eligible property in such a way that any visitors may obstruct the entrance, may encourage trespassing, or may present danger from nearby traffic, they should be considered ineligible.

In the US, if the Little Free Library is between the sidewalk and the street, they are usually accepted, but the submitter should show that this is public property where they are submitting. The laws vary different places.

If the LFL is between the sidewalk and the house, then that is usually SFPRP (single family private residential property) and should be rejected, even if there is a fence between the house and the sidewalk and the LFL is mounted on the fence.

If there is no sidewalk, then the SFPRP property usually extends to the road unless the submitter demonstrates otherwise.
