I can easily walk my dog there so there's no need for the sidewalk. If you break your leg, if you're old or disabled - tough luck. I stopped reading after this ableist argument. Those overreaching regulations trying to make life easy for disabled - how are we going to pay for those? Locally we had a similar response to the idea of replacing pedestrian overpass bridges with regular crossings. Cost of maintaining the bridge and its accessibility are less important than those poor cars which may now have to stop on a red light.
