(a)

The city shall be responsible for the repair, reconstruction or removal of a sidewalk.

(b)

The assumption by the city of the responsibility to repair or reconstruct a sidewalk located on the public right-of-way shall not relieve an abutting owner or occupant of the responsibility set forth in section 24-2 to keep the surface of the sidewalk free from the accumulation of snow, ice, dirt and rubbish.

(c)

Nothing contained in this section shall preclude the city from requiring a property owner to construct a new sidewalk on adjacent public right-of-way as a condition of:

(1)

A development agreement;

(2)

A subdivision request;

(3)

Approval of a conditional use permit;

(4)

Other zoning request; or

(5)

At the city's request.

(d)

If a public sidewalk is damaged or removed by a private property owner, that owner is responsible to repair or replace or repair the sidewalk.
