When you have finite resources, you need to make tradeoffs. We probably don't have money to make every single sidewalk in the US ADA compliant, and there are also other things the city needs to fund. Given that, it's better to focus on streets where ADA compliance would be the most useful, and that's probably not in a street like this. Here, pedestrians, cars and wheelchair users can probably just share the road given that it's not a through street. The 1.5M can then go towards funding other initiatives that would help more people.
