Title
An ordinance relating to the grade and width of sidewalk areas.
Sections
113-12-1 rc
Analysis
Current provisions in s.113-12-1, relating to the grade and width of sidewalk areas on the sides of city streets, do not adequately specify grades for sidewalk areas between 13 and 15 feet in width. This ordinance establishes the grade of sidewalk areas between 13 and 15 feet in width.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 113-12-1 of the code is repealed and recreated to read:
113-12. Grade and Width of Sidewalk Area.
1. GRADE. The grade of the sidewalk areas at the curb line shall be the same as the established grade at the center of the street opposite, and the grade of the sidewalk areas at the lot line shall be, on sidewalk areas of less than 10 feet in width, 2/10 of a foot higher; on sidewalk areas varying from 10 to 14 feet in width, 3/10 of a foot higher; on sidewalk areas greater than 14 but less than 18 feet in width, 4/10 of a foot higher; and on sidewalk areas of 18 feet in width or more, 5/10 of a foot higher than the established grade at the center of the street opposite.
