New construction or repair of sidewalks may be required under the following circumstances.
(A) Where no sidewalks exist on a street, the City Council may require construction by the property owner.
(B) Where a special need exists due to heavy pedestrian traffic and existing pedestrian walkways are inadequate, the City Council may require construction of sidewalks.
(C) Where a dangerous situation exists as a result of an unsafe sidewalk, the city may require immediate repair or replacement by the property owner.
(D) Where a deteriorated sidewalk exists which does not yet meet the definition for an unsafe sidewalk, the City Council may require replacement after a public hearing.
(E) Funding for new sidewalks may be obtained by any method deemed proper by the City Council, including local improvement districts, and the procedures set forth in this code of ordinances and the Idaho Code. The city will attempt to find and utilize all possible resources to finance construction, including grants and the use of available city funds. In areas where the city has ordered the replacement of a sidewalk, the city will be responsible for that portion of the cost related to the replacement of sidewalk within the public alley right-of-way as well as the area of sidewalk at intersections which is within ten feet of the intersecting curb lines.
