SIDEWALKS
The owner or occupant of any lot, piece, or parcel of ground abutting or adjacent to any street or sidewalk over which there extends the branches of trees shall at all times keep the branches or limbs thereof trimmed to the height of at least seven and one-half feet above the surface of the walk. Whenever the limbs or branches of any tree or trees extend over sidewalks contrary to the provisions herein so as to interfere with the lighting of the street from street lights, or with the convenience of the public using the sidewalk, the City Council at any regular or special meeting may pass a resolution ordering the owner or occupant to cut or remove the obstructions within five days after having received a copy thereof from the Director of Public Works stating that the city will remove the branches and charge the costs thereof to the owner or occupant as a special assessment for improvements as herein provided, if the resolution is not complied with.

It shall be unlawful for the occupant of any lot or lots or the owner of any vacant lot or lots within the corporate limits to allow snow, sleet, mud, ice, or other substance to accumulate on the sidewalks or to permit any snow, sleet, ice, mud, or other substance to remain upon the sidewalk. All sidewalks within the business district shall be cleaned within five hours after the cessation of a storm, unless the storm or fall of snow shall have taken place during the night, in which case the sidewalk shall be cleaned before 8:30 a.m. the following day; provided, sidewalks within the residential areas of the city shall be cleaned within 24 hours after the cessation of the storm.
(Neb. RS 17-557) (1973 Code, § 8-202) Penalty, see § 10.99
No person shall be allowed to keep or use the space beneath the sidewalk lying between lot line and curb line unless a permit therefor shall have been obtained from the City Council. Before any permit shall be granted, the applicant for the permit shall submit plans and specifications of any present or proposed construction to the City Engineer. Should the plans or specifications be disapproved by him, no permit shall be granted therefor. All permits hereafter granted shall continue only upon the condition that the party receiving the same shall build, maintain, and keep in repair a sidewalk over the space used or constructed to be used and pay all damages that may be sustained by any person by reason of the use or by reason of the sidewalk being defective or in a dangerous condition. As a condition precedent to the issuance or continuance of any permit for the use of any space underneath the city sidewalks as herein contemplated, the City Council may require applicant to furnish a bond to the city as obligee for the benefit of any person or persons who may suffer any damage or damages by reason of the use. The bond shall be in the sum as the City Council, in its discretion, may designate.
(1973 Code, § 8-203) Penalty, see § 10.99
Every owner of any lot, lots, or piece of land within the corporate limits shall at all times keep and maintain the sidewalk along and contiguous to the lot, lots, or pieces of land, as the case may be, in good and proper repair, and in a condition reasonably safe for travel for all travelers thereon. In the event that the owner or owners of any lot, lots, or lands, abutting on any street, avenue, or part thereof shall fail to construct or repair any sidewalk in front of his, her, or their lot, lots, or lands, within the time and in the manner as directed and required herein after having received due notice to do so, they shall be liable for all damages or injury occasioned by reason of the defective or dangerous condition of any sidewalk, and the City Council shall have power to cause any such sidewalks to be constructed or repaired and assess the costs thereof against the property.
