[R.O. 2008 §550.040; Ord. No. 5-1 §5, 1-25-1955]
All sidewalks, sidewalk curbing and guttering hereafter built
shall conform as nearly as may be possible to the uniform or established
grade of the street, and shall be free from steps, breaks and offsets,
as practicable.
[R.O. 2008 §550.050; Ord. No. 5-1 §6, 1-25-1955]
A.
All sidewalks hereafter built within the City of Ironton, shall,
unless otherwise provided by special ordinances, be constructed according
to the following specifications, to wit:
1.
All sidewalks shall have an incline from the outside edge of
the street downward toward the curbing of one-quarter (1/4) inch to
the foot.
2.
The width of all sidewalks constructed on Main Street, and the
walks adjacent to the County Courthouse square, on Wayne, Shepherd,
and Russell Street, and the walks on the south side of Russell Street
between Main and Shepherd Street, in the City of Ironton, shall be
five (5) feet.
3.
The width of all sidewalks constructed on any other street in
the City of Ironton, other than on said above-named streets, shall
be three and one-half (3 1/2) feet.
4.
All walks must be cut into blocks of five (5) feet, said cuts
being clear through the concrete and the top and so made as to be
directly over each other and form one (1) cut; the upper cut to be
made with a groover through the top. The center of the walks so constructed
shall be laid directly along and directly over the center of that
portion of the street set aside for sidewalk purposes.
5.
The ground for all sidewalks shall be excavated a depth below
the intended surface of the sidewalk of eight (8) inches on the outside
line of the street, and ten (10) inches on the curb line, the bottom
of the excavation to slope from the outside line of the street to
the curb line. Upon this excavation shall be placed a foundation bed
of gravel or cinders, well tamped down, six (6) inches in depth at
the curb line and diminishing to four (4) inches at the outside line
of the street, so as to present as nearly as may be an even surface
four (4) inches lower than the intended surface of the sidewalk. Upon
this foundation bed of gravel or cinder shall be constructed a cement
pavement, the first three (3) inches shall be composed of one (1)
part by measure of portland cement or other cement of equal quality,
four (4) parts by measure of clean, sharp gravel, and two (2) parts
by measure of sharp creek sand, all thoroughly mixed before the water
is applied, and then water must be added and the whole thoroughly
mixed into a paste and put into place and well tamped or troweled
leaving the surface as nearly smooth as possible for the top. The
aforesaid mixture of cement may be replaced by any ready-mix cement
which is approved by the members of the Street and Alley Committee.
Upon this composition, and during the same day in which it shall have
been constructed and placed, and in such manner as to form a union
therewith, shall be laid a top coating of one (1) inch in thickness,
composed of three (3) parts by measure of portland cement or cement
of equal quality, and five (5) parts by measure of sharp creek sand,
thoroughly mixed, and after it becomes dry enough to trowel, it must
be troweled down to an even and smooth surface. Provided, that nothing
herein contained shall be so construed to prohibit the Board of Aldermen
from authorizing by ordinance, the construction of sidewalks of such
different widths, depths of excavation and elevations as the formation
of the ground may construe to be necessary.
[R.O. 2008 §550.060; Ord. No. 5-1 §7, 1-25-1955]
The construction of all sidewalks within this City shall be
under the direction and supervision of the Street and Alley Committee,

in the same manner as provided in Chapter 88, RSMo., and subsequent
