El Paso City Code § 19.21.030
in effect19.21.030 - Sidewalk requirements for new streets.
A. Sides of the Street. Sidewalks shall be required on both sides of all new streets except in accordance with Chapter 13.04.
B. Timing of improvements.
1. Sidewalks, landscape and curb ramps shall be provided by the developer at the time of road construction on all new freeway frontage roads unless disallowed by TXDOT, arterial streets, or collector streets, except on individual lots fronting on or siding up to such street. The developer may choose to provide security in accordance with this chapter and to delegate the requirement to construct such sidewalks, landscape and curb ramps to the purchaser of a lot or the purchaser's builder as a part of the building permit for a period of three years from the date of acceptance of the adjacent street. However, at the end of the three-year time period, the developer shall make arrangements to complete the missing sidewalks, landscape and curb ramps or in lieu of such arrangements, the city may utilize the security to complete the sidewalks, landscape and curb ramps. As sidewalks, landscape and curb ramps are completed during the three year period, the developer may request the partial release of security for the completed portions in accordance with this title.
C. Financial guarantee. A developer of a new subdivision may contribute the projected cost of the sidewalk construction into an escrow fund or through other form of financial guarantee to delay the time of construction of the sidewalk according to procedures within this title and Chapter 13.04.
