All streets under the jurisdiction of the Village shall be classified by the Village and said classification shall determine the standards to which said streets must be constructed. If the proper classification of any street is unknown, or if a new street is proposed for construction, the Village shall review the existing or proposed street and thereafter establish a classification.
(A) As a general rule, the design of all streets within any subdivision shall be properly integrated with the Village’s existing and proposed street system, and all work, installation, procedures and testing shall conform to the specifications contained in the latest edition of the Illinois Department of Transportation "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", hereinafter referred to as IDOT Standard Specifications, with the provisions of this Article, and with the specifications set forth in Table 34-31.
(B) Measurement of pavement width for streets shall be made from back-to-back of the curbs. Measurement of pavement width for alleys, where curbs are not required, shall be from edge-to-edge.
