[Adopted 8-6-1973 by Ord. No. 452 (Ch. 21, Part 3, of the
1987 Code of Ordinances)]
[Amended 10-5-1987 by Ord. No. 568[1]]
On and after the passage of this article, all streets opened
for public traffic shall be not less than 65 feet wide and shall provide
for sidewalks within at least 10 feet of the width of the street on
each side thereof, except where, upon petition to Council, it is shown
that a street 65 feet wide is either impossible or impracticable.
Council may by majority vote allow a street to be opened to the width
of 50 feet.
Whenever any individual or corporation shall open up streets
through any land and subsequently desire to dedicate said streets
to the Borough, it is hereby ordained that no such streets will be
accepted unless they are of the required width aforesaid and the cartway
of said street from curb to curb properly paved and improved in accordance
with specifications which will be provided by the Borough Engineer.
When the grading and permanent paving and improvements for any
street, alley or parts thereof in the Borough have been authorized,
2/3 of the cost may be assessed against the properties abutting on
such an improvement, as Council may determine from time to time by
resolution.
