Such assessments except for temporary sidewalks and sidewalk repairs shall be equalized and levied as other special assessments. The city shall cause the construction of sidewalks on at least one side of every major traffic street and main thoroughfare in the city, excluding freeways, expressways, controlled-access facilities, and other streets deemed by the city to demonstrate no or very limited demand for pedestrian use, and may assess the cost thereof upon abutting property.
