The term "public ways," as used in this Charter, includes all streets, avenues, roads, highways, public thoroughfares, lanes and alleys.
The town shall have no duty or responsibility to hard-surface, maintain or repair the streets and other highways within the Town of Pittsville at the time of adoption of this Charter, but the town shall retain the right to determine the widths of streets in subdivisions hereafter laid out and to require developers to provide drainage, stabilization, paving and curb and gutter on such streets before approving plats of subdivisions for recording; such requirements for street improvement shall meet Wicomico County standards, and such streets shall become part of the county road system when approved by Wicomico County officials.
The town may:
A. 
Establish, regulate and change from time to time the grade lines, width and construction materials of any sidewalk or part thereof on town property along any public way or part thereof.
B. 
Grade, lay out, construct, reconstruct, pave, repave, repair, extend or otherwise alter sidewalks on town property along any public way or part thereof.
C. 
Require that the owners of any property abutting on a sidewalk keep the sidewalk clear of all ice, snow and other obstructions.
D. 
Require and order the owner of any property abutting on any public way in the town to perform any projects authorized by this section at the owner's expense according to reasonable plans and specifications. If, after due notice, the owner fails to comply with the order within a reasonable time, the town may do the work, and the expense shall be a lien on the property and shall be collectible in the same manner as are town taxes or by suit at law.
