Sidewalk Closure Information
SIDEWALK CLOSURES:
If a public sidewalk is required to be closed for reasons of construction then the following must take place:
- An alternate pedestrian route must be established.
- The alternate route must be fully handicapped accessible.
Clearly marked advance signs must direct pedestrians to intersections with marked crosswalks where any exist.
If there are no alternate pedestrian routes, the construction of a covered pedestrian walkway must occur if conditions permit its use.
A right-of -way permit detailing the pedestrian accommodation plan must be requested and approved.
