populated areas, and the general type of improvement intended. Where
required, sidewalks shall be at least four feet wide and located as
approved by the approving authority. Sidewalks shall be placed upon
a compacted subgrade overlain with at least three inches of porous
material such as sand or gravel. Concrete sidewalks shall be at least
four inches thick, except at points of vehicular crossings where they
shall be at least six inches thick, of Class B concrete having a twenty-eight-day
compressive strength of 4,000 psi, and shall be air-entrained. Sidewalks
of blacktop or other approved materials shall be constructed as approved
by the approving authority upon the advice of the Township Engineer.
Where sidewalks cross curbings, curb ramps shall be provided.
All driveways shall conform to the regulations of Chapter 167, Driveways.

roadway curbline and a point on the intersecting roadway curbline
which shall be located from the near curbline of the intersecting
driveway in accordance with the following table:

line shall be made.

and shall be a minimum of six feet wide. Bikeways shall have a minimum
