fee, which immediately followed this subsection, was repealed 7-27-2016

No driveway shall be constructed or graded to leave a steep,
sharp depression, or other obstruction in the sidewalk. The grade
shall be as nearly as possible the same as that of the adjoining sidewalk.
It shall be unlawful to have the surface finish of any driveway where
the same crosses the sidewalk constructed of such materials as to
render it slippery and hazardous for pedestrians or to have the grade
of that portion vary from the grade of the sidewalk or be other than
level.
Driveways across sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete
or of such other materials as may be approved by the Village Board.
It shall be the duty of every person maintaining a driveway
to keep the same in good repair where it crosses the sidewalk, and
free from obstruction and openings.
