§ 74.187. Findings and objectives.

The city council makes the following findings:

(1)

The right of the public to free and unhampered passage over the public streets and sidewalks shall be held paramount over the convenience of access to abutting private properties.

(2)

The city must be able to exercise a reasonable measure of control over the placement and quality of access to city streets and over the timing and quality of construction of accessways in order to ensure that the public can use city streets safely.

(3)

The city should be able to exercise necessary control; the city council desires to adopt standards for the provision of access.
