(A) Establishment. The Village Council, upon determination of need, may establish a special assessment district for the raising of funds for the construction and/or repair of essential pedestrian walkways that it deems necessary. Such special assessment districts shall be established in such a manner as to include all properties that are determined to benefit from the construction and/or repair of the pedestrian walkways.
(B) Liability for removal or damage. Any person who removes or damages a portion of a public pedestrian walkway will be liable for all costs of repair or replacement.
(C) Placement of obstacles. It shall be unlawful for any person to place upon the surface of any path or sidewalk within the village any wire, rope, hose, cable or any other substance or material of a nature likely to cause injury to pedestrians or to in any other way render a public pedestrian walkway unsafe. Additionally, it shall be the responsibility of the property (owner) to ensure that all sidewalks are maintained to their full width (that is, clear of grass and other vegetation/debris), and that abutting/overhanging vegetation is cleared to a height of not less than ten feet above the sidewalk and not less than the full width of the sidewalk. Violation of either or both of these provisions shall result in immediate notification by the Code Enforcement Officer and, if not corrected within ten days, may be subject to a fine inclusive of the costs to rectify the issue. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the proper authorities from using any usual or proper means of improving such paths or sidewalks.
