In the event that a street or sidewalk is not restored to its original condition, as determined by the inspection of the Community Services Director, within a period of thirty (30) days from and after the date when such excavation shall have begun, then such street or sidewalk shall be restored to its original condition by the City and the costs and expenses to which the City may be put, on account of such or any violation of the conditions or regulations under which the work is done, shall be paid from the deposit made with the City Treasurer, and if after deduction of all payments for restoration expense there be any remainder, it shall be returned to the person who made the deposit.
[CC 1989 §7-44]
Every person who shall make any excavation in or adjoining any public street, sidewalk or public place shall cause it to be fenced in with a substantial fence not less than three (3) feet high and so placed as to prevent persons, animals or vehicles from falling into such excavations. Every person making any such excavation and every person who shall occupy any portion of any public place with building materials or any obstruction shall cause one (1) red light to be securely and conspicuously posted on or near such excavation, building material or obstruction, provided that such obstruction does not extend more than ten (10) feet in length, and if over ten (10) feet and less than fifty (50) feet, two (2) red lights, one (1) at each end, and one (1) additional light for each additional fifty (50) feet or part thereof and shall keep such lights burning during the entire night.
[CC 1989 §7-45]
The Community Services Director is authorized, with the approval of the City Council, to close any street, sidewalk, public place or highway and withdraw the same from public use temporarily and during such period as work thereon shall make such action necessary. No person shall use or attempt to use such street, sidewalk, public place or highway withdrawn from public use or drive or attempt to drive any animal or vehicle thereon.
[CC 1989 §7-46]
In excavating in any street, sidewalk or other public way, all material for paving or macadamizing shall be removed with the least possible injury thereof, and together with the materials excavated from the trenches shall be placed where they will cause the least possible inconvenience to the public. The width of the excavation shall be no greater than is necessary for doing the work and whenever it shall be deemed necessary by the Community Services Director, sheeting and bracing shall be used to keep the sides of the trenches perpendicular and prevent unnecessary caving. The street must be opened in the manner which will cause the least inconvenience to the public and admit the uninterrupted passage of water along the gutters, and every precaution must be taken to protect the trench so as to insure the public safety.
[CC 1989 §7-47]
No excavation shall be made in any public street, sidewalk or highway more than two (2) blocks in length at any one time except by special permit from the Community Services Director.

[CC 1989 §7-49]
No person shall make an excavation in any street, sidewalk or thoroughfare without protecting such excavation so as to prevent persons, animals or vehicles from falling into such excavation.
