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.
