The following specifications shall be applied to all sidewalks constructed within the city.
(A) Material to be used in construction of all sidewalks shall be Portland cement concrete and shall be four inches thick, or five and one-half bag mix.
(B) The base will be a minimum of two inches of compacted gravel.
(C) Sidewalks shall have a one-fourth inch per foot of width slope toward the street so water will not stand.
(D) Sidewalks shall have expansion joints at a minimum of 50-foot intervals.
(E) The width of all sidewalks shall be not less than four feet or more than eight feet and shall conform to the width, grade, and curb lines of the adjoining sidewalks provided that the existing sidewalks are at least four feet wide. Any sidewalk not the same grade as adjoining property will be sloped in such a manner as not to cause a hazard to traffic.
(F) The corners of all sidewalks at intersections shall be constructed or reconstructed in such a manner so as to make the sidewalks accessible to the disabled. Application may be made to the City Council through the City Finance Officer for a grant not exceeding $5 per square foot for the cost of construction or reconstructing such corners from the sidewalk to the curb. The application must include actual costs or written cost estimates of construction for making such changes and only such costs as are directly related to making the changes necessary to make the sidewalks accessible for the disabled will be considered for reimbursement.
