Where required for traffic safety; for safe access to schools, parks and playgrounds, shopping facilities, or other community facilities; to provide more convenient access to other streets and areas where the topography or the length of the block would cause undue hardship on the pedestrian; the dedication and development of pedestrian paths in accordance with the design standards and specifications may be required. Easements for such pathways shall be as specified therein unless local conditions dictate a greater or lesser width. At the option of the City, pedestrian easements may be combined with other easements or rights-of-way when such easements comply with the purposes of this title.
