Here's a look at the sidewalk ordinance coming to Bluffton
Remember the sidewalk repair program of about 10 years ago? It's coming back. Bluffton council anticipates acting on the first of three readings on a new ordinance to address sidewalks not addresses in the first round.
The action is on Monday's council agenda. A complete look at the ordinance is part of an attachment at the bottom of this story.
The new ordinance has three phases:
• Existing sidewalk repair
• Construction and installation of connecting sidewalks
• Construction and installation of new sidewalks
Those phases are spelled out in the ordinance.
