The City Council shall make the final determination of the tTpe and location <br />of sidewalks to be installed. <br /> <br />Paved or concrete paths that may not strictly follow the street may be permitted by <br />the City Council. Bituminous material may not be used for paths to be located <br />within the front yards of residential properties. <br /> <br />Paths in common area or other locations away from streets which are typically <br />found in planned unit developments or duster developments generally should be <br />integrated into the detailed area plan or layout permitting visual surveillance of the <br />path from the street or nearby houses. <br /> <br />_Standards: <br /> <br />Sidewalks shall be made of concrete, five feet wide. An eight foot concrete <br />sidewalk: will be required in high density areas where safety is a concern, including <br />but not limited to, commercial and industrial areas, multi-family areas and school <br />zoneS. <br /> <br />Sidewalks should be located within a public right-of-way, public easement, or <br />common area, or at least one foot (1') inside of the right-of-way line. A border area <br />or grass strip located between the street edge of the sidewalk and curb face shall <br />be Installed to provide a visual break between the paved surface of the street and <br />sidewalk; a suitable location for planting of boulevard trees, landscape, snow <br />storage, and provide pedestrian safety by further moving the sidewalk from the <br />road surface. (See Engineering Design Guidelines Manual, Standard Plate 701 for <br />a detail related to the border/grass strip design.) <br /> <br />Along certain streets, a continuous sidewalk, without a grass strip will be required <br />where the City Council determines that turf maintenance will likely be a problem <br />and pedestrian traffic is considerable. <br /> <br />Sidewalk street crossings shall be located at a point along the road that offers <br />adequate sight distance as determined by the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Barrier curbs (vertical curbs) six inches (6") high shall be provided along collector <br />streets or streets located in commercial or industrial areas adjacent to sidewalks to <br />prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway, control drainage, protect pavements <br />edges and protect sidewalks, lawns, utilities signs and street trees from <br />encroachment by vehicles. <br /> <br />Curb cuts shall be provlded for bicycles, wheelchairs, baby carriages, and other <br />wheeled vehicles. MnDOT Standard Plat 7036D as amended form time to time <br />should be used as the standard for design and installation of curb ramps compliant <br />with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements. In addition, the <br />following principles should be observed in considering ramp construction. <br /> <br />a. A curb cut ramp shall be located close to the intersection to keep the width <br />of the crosswalk to a minimum.
