Athens City Code

1. (1) The widths of existing and proposed streets shall from time to time be classified by the city council and the regional planning commission and shown on the city street map.
2. (2) Existing streets are only those streets which are shown as such on the street map. Proposed streets are contemplated streets through undeveloped property.
