I don't understand why in many suburban areas there will be sidewalk for miles, and then it will just cut off for maybe a mile or so, just to have the sidewalk

I don't understand why in many suburban areas there will be sidewalk for miles, and then it will just cut off for maybe a mile or so, just to have the sidewalk pick back up again on that same road
- lotsofpulp 7y agoBecause laws requiring sidewalks went into effect after some land was developed, and the city would have to pay for the land owner to put a sidewalk in.
- JJMcJ 7y agoTypically the road w/o sidewalks was put in earlier, when sidewalks weren't required. Or there is a change of jurisdiction, and one didn't require sidewalks and one did, often city vs. unincorporated county land.
- themaninthedark 7y agoIn suburbs, the sidewalk is supposed to be installed by the contractor who is doing the building. Some of them "forget" and the inspector doesn't notice/care.
