Proceedings may be instituted by a resolution of the Council, or by petition of property owners, for the purpose of preventing or prohibiting the construction of sidewalks within the street area in any given district or along a specified block or street. Before the Council passes any ordinance to prohibit or prevent the construction of any sidewalk, a public hearing shall be held on such resolution or petition in the same manner as provided in § 151.025, and like notice shall be given and reference made to the Planning Commission; provided, however, that in lieu or in addition to the posting of such notice, the Council may direct that notice of such hearing be given by publication in a newspaper published in the area within the ten days preceding the hearing. The City Recorder or authorized person shall issue no permits for the construction of any walk in any block or in any part thereof where the Council by ordinance, has directed no walks to be constructed, and it shall be unlawful and constituted a violation of this subchapter for any person to install or construct any walk in any block or along any street where the Council, by ordinances prohibits walks.
