Sidewalks shall be provided where required by the Township.

A minimum width of all sidewalks shall be four feet. There shall be a minimum of three-foot wide planting strip between the curb and sidewalk. This planting strip can be used for the location of the underground utilities.

The grades and paving of the sidewalks shall be continuous across driveways except in nonresidential and multi-family residential developments and in certain other cases where heavy traffic volume dictates special treatment.

The thickness and type of construction of all sidewalks shall be in accordance with the Township specifications.

At corners and pedestrian street crossing points, sidewalks shall be extended to the curbline with an adequate apron area for anticipated pedestrian traffic.

Sidewalks shall not exceed a 7% grade. Steps or a combination of steps and ramps shall be utilized to maintain the maximum grade, where necessary. Where sidewalk grades exceed 5%, a nonslip surface texture shall be used.

In addition to the preceding requirements, all sidewalks shall provide ramps for adequate and reasonable access for the safe and convenient movement of physically handicapped persons, including the movement of wheelchairs across pedestrian crosswalk.
