Moore, OK Sidewalk & Pedestrian Rules: Sidewalk Repair (2026)

Section 14-109 of the Moore Code of Ordinances makes it unlawful for anyone to let an obstruction of any kind accumulate on the sidewalk fronting their premises. It places an affirmative duty on all owners and occupants of property to keep their premises, and the adjacent sidewalks, gutters, streets, and alleys, free of weeds, trash, and other obstructions, and to remove any that accumulate. The same section separately bans depositing, throwing, or sweeping trash, weeds, tree trimmings, dirt, or other refuse into or onto a street, alley, parking area, or sidewalk.

Section 14-110 then governs the physical repair of the sidewalk itself: repairs must be made with the same material as the original walk, unless the city requires something else, and every sidewalk repair must be approved by the city before it counts as complete. Read together, these two sections put both day-to-day upkeep (clearing debris and hazards) and structural repair (fixing cracked or damaged walk) on the property owner or occupant, not the city, while the city retains approval authority over the materials and workmanship used.

Sidewalk construction specifications for new or replacement concrete walks, including subgrade depth, joint spacing, and required curing time, are separately detailed in Section 14-111, which also sets sidewalk widths at four feet in residential areas and eight feet in commercial or industrial areas. Failure to comply with the maintenance duty in Section 14-109 or the repair standard in Section 14-110 is punished under Chapter 14-1's penalty clause, Section 14-112.
