The sidewalk will need to be widened (min additional width allowed to be added is 4 feet) or will need to be replaced with new curb, gutter, and sidewalk that has a 5.5 foot sidewalk width. Either choice will need to meet current ADA criteria. The plans will need to label and show which choice is planned. Appropriate details will need to be added to the plans. All concrete work within the right-of-way is required to be completed by a contractor licensed to do work within the right-of-way. Response: An additional 4 feet of new sidewalk will be added to the existing sidewalk, as shown on the Site Plan.
