[Ord. 439, 8/12/1975, § 19-85]
Whenever the grade of any street or part thereof shall be established,
and the curb line given, every property owner along the same, after
proper notice from the Borough Engineer, shall be required, at his
or her own expense, to grade the sidewalks, put in curb of such dimensions
as may be approved by the Borough Engineer, and pave the sidewalks
to the width required by Council, the whole length of the walk abutting
his or her lot or lots, with concrete, according to the specifications
from time to time adopted by the Council, and, in so doing, to conform
to the lines and grades given him; provided, existing brick sidewalks
may be repaired with brick. Also, provided, that existing sidewalks
may be surfaced with such materials as may, from time to time, be
approved by Council. In all such cases, the property owner who desires
to resurface his sidewalk shall first notify the Borough Engineer
of his intention to resurface his existing sidewalk and of the type
of material which he intends to use, whereupon the Borough Engineer
shall inspect the sidewalk to be resurfaced and make a report and
recommendation to Council, whereupon Council shall approve or reject
the proposed resurfacing plan. Upon approval of such resurfacing plan,
the property owner may proceed to resurface his sidewalk in accordance
with the plans and specifications as approved by Council, and the
Borough Engineer shall inspect the finished job and make a final approval.
[Ord. 439, 8/12/1975, § 19-86]
If any person shall fail, neglect or refuse to pave the sidewalk with approved material as provided by § 21-301, within a period of 20 days after being duly notified as prescribed by law, the Borough Council may cause the same to be laid at the expense of such delinquent, and may recover the cost thereof, as provided by law.
[Ord. 439, 8/12/1975, § 19-87]
It shall be lawful for any property owner, at his own discretion,
where a sidewalk has not been ordered to be laid by authority of the
Borough, to construct or cause to be constructed a sidewalk along
his property; provided, such property owner shall first notify the
Borough Engineer of his intention to construct such sidewalk and shall
obtain from him the specifications for concrete used in sidewalk construction
in the Borough and shall conform to such specifications; provided,
further, such sidewalk shall be constructed outside the cartway of
the street or alley along which it is located.
