Intent
Intent 1: 
To exempt obstructed sidewalks from the application of Sentence 8.2.3.1.(3), which would otherwise require their clearance of obstructions, if certain measures are taken [provision of an unobstructed temporary sidewalk]. This is to limit the probability that persons will:
  • trip over or hit materials or equipment, which could lead to harm to persons, or
  • be obstructed in their path of travel [along the sidewalk], which could lead to persons using the street for passage, which could lead to persons being impacted by vehicles, which could lead to harm to persons.
