11.20.010 Purposes.

Many of the city’s older streets evolved from wagon trails or dirt paths that, more than a century later, are much as they were during the mining era--except, perhaps, for some pavement. There is a need to preserve the character and charm of these streets and their surrounding neighborhoods while accommodating automobiles, delivery trucks, and emergency vehicles.

The purposes of the legacy street program are to:

A.    Improve public safety;

B.    Improve traffic circulation; and

c.    Maintain community character. (Ord. 546 (Att. A), 2025)
