This includes restoration of entrances and side roads. Restoration of roadway surfaces shall be made using materials and methods approved by the Director of Public Works. Such cleanup and repair may be required to consist of backfilling, regrading, reseeding, resodding, or any other requirement to restore the right-of-way to a condition substantially equivalent to that which existed prior to the commencement of the project. The time period provided in this section may be extended by the Director of Public Works for good cause shown.

Sidewalk removed for replacement shall be removed to the nearest full section or expansion joint. Any sidewalks, bike paths, roadways, driveways, landscaped areas or other areas under which directional boring has been performed and for which disturbance of any kind is visible at the surface shall be removed and replaced as deemed necessary by the Director of Public Works; any areas between disturbances less than 100 feet in length shall not be allowed to remain in place but shall be replaced in conjunction with the disturbed sections. Any trees or plantings disturbed by utility installation shall be acceptably pruned in accordance with § 55.17 if deemed salvageable by the Director of Public Works. Any disturbed trees or plantings deemed unsalvageable shall be replaced in kind and as directed by the Director of Public Works. Backfilling of excavations and trenches with granular limestone materials shall not be allowed adjacent to the roots of trees and shrubs.
