All sidewalks or footwalks in the Borough of Spring Grove, wherever
the same are required, shall be paved with brick, stone or artificial
stone or cement for a width of or less than four feet; and wherever
the entire width of the around laid out, reserved, set apart, dedicated
or condemned for sidewalks shall not be paved, the part thereof not
paved shall be graded and leveled and provided with a firm surface
of earth, gravel or cinders, well rolled or tamped, so that said surface
shall form, in connection with the pavement on said ground, a continuous,
even and uniform surface of the required grade and slope.
All cutters in said Borough, wherever the same are required,
shall have a minimum width of 2 1/2 feet and shall be paved with
brick, stone or artificial stone or cement; and the grade, slope,
form, shape and depth thereof shall in all cases be fixed and determined
by Council, taking into consideration the location and surrounding
conditions.
Wherever the entire width of the around laid out, reserved,
set apart, dedicated or condemned for sidewalks or footwalks shall
be paved, the pavement shall be placed or located immediately inside
of the curbline or inner edge of the gutter; provided that Council,
in its discretion, may permit pavements to be placed or located at
a reasonable and convenient distance from the curbline.
All sidewalks or footwalks shall be graded, constructed and
paved at and in conformity with the established grades of the respective
streets or alleys and shall have a uniform slope toward the gutter
not exceeding 1/2 of one inch per foot; and the Street Committee of
the Council of said Borough shall, whenever requested by any person
or persons about to grade, construct, pave or repair a pavement and
gutter, or either, ascertain and mark the grade at which such sidewalk
or footwalk and gutter, or either, shall be graded, constructed or
paved, and the grade so ascertained and marked shall in all cases
be the proper grade for such sidewalk or footwalk and gutter.
All gutters and paved parts of sidewalks or footwalks constructed
of bricks or stones shall be constructed by laying the bricks or stones
on a firm foundation or bed of sand or coal ashes, with close-fitting
filled joints, and shall have no loose bricks or stones, and all gutters
and paved parts of sidewalks or footwalks constructed of artificial
stone or cement shall have a firm surface and shall have no loose
parts.
