Sidewalks in Newberg
|
|
Everyone is entitled to safe and usable travel...by foot, wheel, or vehicle. It is the law.
Why it matters: Cars are not the only way to travel. Our whole community needs safe travel for work and school; for exercise and business; to community events and essential services.
- Broken or blocked sidewalks are not usable for less able persons, those with wheelchairs, vision impaired, parents with strollers, or anyone who relies on safe sidewalks for daily life.
- Studies show that roads without sidewalks have more than 2X the pedestrian accidents. Sidewalks in good repair increase the property values of your neighborhood; and improve business and community vitality.
The Bottom Line: Everyone deserves access to safe travel routes. It is so much more than just the law.
You can apply for a sidewalk-only permit on our online permitting software eTRAKiT at https://trakit.newbergoregon.gov/etrakit/
REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT:
1. Please attach sidewalk plans that clearly show the work to be completed. Plans must meet City Standards for sidewalks and must be attached in order for the permit to be approved. City standards can be found in the Public Works Design and Construction Standards Section 5.14. Drawings submitted should include the dimensions of the work to be performed, a north arrow, names of the adjacent roadways, and the address of the site if associated directly with an address or a description of the nearest landmark.
2. The contractor and any subcontractor cannot start work until the contractor has obtained all insurance requirements including general liability insurance and the permit has been issued.
3. Applicant is to assure that all work performed in the public right-of-way results in the public right-of-way being restored to its original or better condition. If you are disturbing more than 500 sq. ft. of soil, or if your project is located in a floodplain, stream corridor, or an area that has the potential to discharge additional stormwater off site, you will need an Erosion & Sedimentation Control (ESC) Permit before you can receive a sidewalk permit.
