[Amended 8-15-2006 by L.L. No. 1-2006]
The owners and occupants of lots abutting on streets are required to keep the sidewalks in front of such premises free and clear of all snow, ice, dirt and other obstructions, and said owners and occupants are further required to keep such walks in a safe condition for public travel and to repair and remedy all defects such as, but not limited to, upheavals, cracks, missing pieces and crumbling. Where a homeowner removes any or all of a sidewalk for any reason, the homeowner is responsible to have that sidewalk replaced within one year. After a sidewalk is removed, the area must be accessible to Village equipment until the construction has been completed. All sidewalks shall be four feet wide by four inches thick and constructed of concrete. All corner lots shall be handicapped accessible. Sidewalks will have three inches of crushed stone base with wire mesh or fiber reinforcement added to concrete. Expansion joints shall be every four feet. Concrete shall be 3,500 psi test or greater. Sidewalks are to be broom finished. All sidewalks crossing driveways shall be constructed of concrete. (Sidewalks of other material are not allowed.) For failure to obey the provisions of this section, the Village Board may cause such sidewalks to be cleared or repaired, as the case may be, and may assess the expense thereof upon the adjoining land.
It shall be unlawful for any person to ride a bicycle on the sidewalks on Main Street between the intersections of Main Street and Mill Street and Main Street and Lake Avenue and New Hartford Street. A violation of this section shall constitute a traffic infraction and shall be punishable accordingly.[1]
