§ 42-70. Legislative findings; purpose.
City highways have been established and maintained primarily for the purpose of movement of vehicles and pedestrians. It is also desirable to allow individuals and utility companies to utilize highway rights-of-way for purposes other than transportation. However, to prevent recurring, dangerous and annoying interruptions to traffic and pedestrians and to avoid interference with future road construction and to provide a uniform standard of construction and construction methods, it is necessary that strict control be maintained and standard procedures be followed for excavation, construction and maintenance of City highways.
