Scenic roads are irreplaceable resources, the destruction of
which will have an adverse impact on the city's historic and
scenic heritage. The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards
and procedures for designating city highways or portions thereof as
scenic roads and for regulating and preserving the city's scenic
roads for the benefit of present and future generations. As used in
this chapter, "highway" shall mean any public highway, street, road
or other way approved by the Common Council permanently dedicated
to the movement of vehicles and pedestrians and providing the principal
means of access to abutting property.
