Sidewalks shall be installed on both sides of streets.

(2) 

Sidewalks shall be at least four feet wide, except where site conditions warrant a greater width.

(3) 

Sidewalks shall be four inches thick, except at driveway crossings with a 60 gauge wire mesh. Commercial driveways shall be seven inches thick.

(4) 

Provisions are to be made for access by disabled persons, particularly as they relate to entrance ways and ramps, both within new and remodeled buildings and structures.

C. 

Where trees are planted within sidewalks, or within one foot of a sidewalk, a grating shall be installed to permit the tree roots to be trimmed so that the sidewalk blocks are not lifted.
