Width of driveway approaches <br /> shall conform to the dimensions as required by table I. <br /> b. Radius. Driveway approaches shall be constructed with <br /> either winged side slopes or with return curbs having a rolled <br /> face disappearing at the sidewalks and joining the street curb <br /> with a radius to conform to the dimensions as required by <br /> table I. Winged side slopes shall be used whenever a curb <br /> return may present an architectural barrier within a <br /> pedestrian path. <br /> c. Removal of sidewalk Where a driveway approach is <br /> designed to cross an existing sidewalk,the sidewalk included <br /> in the driveway approach area shall be removed and <br /> reconstructed as a driveway approach, unless the city <br /> engineer has determined that the section of sidewalk fully <br /> complies with the requirements of this section for driveway <br /> approaches. <br /> d.
