§ 54-23. Maintenance.

(a)

The owners or occupants of the abutting property shall maintain and keep in repair all private entrances, driveways, curbs, and approaches thereto, but no private entrances, driveways, curbs, and approaches shall be constructed or maintained in such a manner as to obstruct or interfere with the highway, the traffic thereon, or with any drain which has been constructed on or which serves the highway.

(b)

When any highway, street, or alley in the city is constructed or reconstructed, the construction of public road approaches and existing private approaches, together with the drainage structures required for its protection, shall be included as a part of the improvement of the highway or city-maintained street. The city engineer may require the changing of the location of any existing driveway in the interest of the safety of the motoring public when the street or alley is constructed or reconstructed, and the person owning or occupying the abutting property shall make the changes in location under the direction of the city engineer. Upon the completion of the street or alley, the owner or occupant of adjoining lands shall keep in repair all private approaches or driveways from the street or alley.
