(A) New sidewalks constructed on streets of the borough shall be of one-course concrete construction. Sidewalks shall be built as a series of independent sections, in general not more than six feet in length. Sections of all sidewalks shall be separated by a vertical joint for the full width of slab and for the full thickness of the sidewalk. A one-half inch expansion joint shall be provided at least once in every five sections of sidewalk, and shall be filled with approved joint filler. A joint shall be provided where the sidewalk meets a curb and at such other places as may be directed by the Borough Manager or other person designated by Council.
(B) The thickness of all finished walks shall be at least four inches except that at driveways four inch with reinforcing or six-inch thickness shall be provided.
(C) One-course sidewalks shall be six bag mix concrete.
(D) The grade of each sidewalk slab shall not exceed one-eighth inch per foot except where the conformation of the land prohibits.
(E) Provided, existing sidewalks, lawfully constructed of brick, stone or other material than concrete may be continued to be maintained and may be repaired with the material of which such sidewalks are constructed, but if the condition of any such sidewalk becomes such that, in the judgment of the Borough Manager, reconstruction would be necessary in order to restore such walk to safe condition, such sidewalk shall be reconstructed of concrete and shall conform in every respect to the provisions of this section applicable to new sidewalks.
