§ 17.32.210. Sidewalks.

A.

When required. Sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of public and private streets, but not alleys. In addition, sidewalks shall be constructed when necessary to provide safe pedestrian access to and circulation within the project.

B.

Location. Sidewalks in residential areas shall be separated from the street by a boulevard area that is at least six (6) feet in width. In areas where the topography or other physical feature prevents this type of placement, the City Engineer shall approve a suitable alternative.

C.

Cross-walks within development projects. When a sidewalk crosses a street internal to the project, a pedestrian crossing shall be constructed to provide for safe passage. Appropriate design features may include pavement treatments, signals, lighting, traffic-calming features, median-refuge areas, signs, and striping.

D.

Access for physically handicapped persons. Sidewalks shall be handicapped accessible consistent with federal, State, and local requirements.
