(a)

New streets and alleys in the subdivision shall be graded and paved. Specifications for the paving will be furnished by the city street department, public works department or the city's contract engineering firm.

(b)

Sidewalks shall be required along both sides of all streets, except where the construction of a sidewalk along one (1) side of a cul-de-sac with less than four (4) homes may be allowed to provided that each home has direct access to the sidewalk. Sidewalks may also be required elsewhere where deemed to be in the interest of public safety.

(c)

Unless otherwise required or permitted, sidewalks shall be placed in the street right-of-way and located approximately one (1) foot from and parallel to the edge of the right-of-way.

(d)

Where sufficient foot traffic will be realized across proposed streets to merit a crosswalk and/or pedestrian signal, the installation of such signals or striping of the street to provide for the safety of pedestrians may be required.

(e)

An internalized pedestrian circulation system in the form of paved walking paths or jogging trails may be substituted in whole or part for sidewalks along residential streets with approval from the public works department and the planning and zoning commission.
