§ 801-29. Sidewalks.

A. 

Where required. Sidewalks shall be installed on both sides of Major Streets.

B. 

Sidewalks conditionally required. Sidewalks shall be installed on one or both sides of a secondary street and a minor A street, unless in the opinion of the Planning Board, pedestrian safety would not be substantially served by their construction. Where sidewalks are not required, the Board may require that the grading of the right-of-way be so executed as to make possible later additions of sidewalks without major regrading.

C. 

Location of paved road surface. In order to accommodate a sidewalk and/or bicycle path, the Planning Board may require that the paved surface of the roadway be offset to one side of the right-of-way.

D. 

Green strips. Sidewalks and/or bicycle paths shall be separated from the roadway by a strip of land loamed and seeded to the specifications of § 810-48, Grass plots. Sidewalks and/or bicycle paths shall be located as close as possible to the outside line of the right-of-way. Street trees shall be planted in the green strip.

E. 

Sidewalk length. Sidewalks shall extend the full length of each side of the street.

F. 

Sidewalk width. Sidewalks shall have a minimum width of five feet along major and secondary roads. All sidewalks shall conform to American Disabilities Act requirements and Massachusetts Architectural Access Board standards, 521 CMR, and as may be amended.
