A. Improvements To Streets And Alleys: When a railway occupies any portion of a street with its tracks running in a general direction of such street, either on or adjacent thereto, the railway company shall improve the space between its tracks and two feet (2') on either side thereof in the same manner that the remainder of the street is to be, or has been, improved, or with such other satisfactory material as the City Council by motion or resolution may approve. In case any railway company shall occupy an alley with its tracks, such company shall improve, gutter, drain and grade such alley, and shall surface or pave it with the same material which is to be, or has been, used on the alley, or with such other satisfactory material as the City Council by motion or resolution may approve. When the tracks of any railroad company cross any street that is being or has been paved, the company shall pave as much of the street as is occupied by its tracks and two feet (2') on each side, using the same material as is to be, or has been, used on the street, or such other satisfactory material as the City Council by motion or resolution may approve. When more than one track crosses a street within a distance of one hundred feet (100'), measuring from inside rail to inside rail, the railroad company shall grade, gutter, drain and curb the street area between its tracks, and surface or pave it with the same material which the City is to use or has used, on the street. Railroad companies shall keep all such improvements made by them in a good state of repair at all times. (1988 Code § 16-101)
B. Sidewalk Construction: Railway companies shall construct sidewalks crossing their rights of way, using the same material as is used in adjacent sidewalks insofar as this is practicable under the circumstances. They shall construct sidewalks on both sides of the streets when both sides are used by pedestrians. The company shall keep such sidewalks in a good state of repair at all times. (1988 Code § 16-102)
