    Yeah I understand that is the case, but sidewalks should never have been optional IMO. I also heard back in the day owners were given the option to pay extra to NOT install sidewalks which gave people the impression that they own the ROW and leads to pushback when the City finally tries to connect the half-assed sidewalk network.

    Incomplete sidewalks drag down the look of the neighborhood and I swear I hear a banjo playing every time I see a sidewalk that leads to nowhere, terminating mid-block.  If these were large estate homes then maybe I can understand people not wanting sidewalks for snobby aesthetic reasons & "security" purposes, but in middle class neighborhoods with several public parks and schools nearby and lot sizes average 50x150 there is no excuse to forgo sidewalks. I have a cheap rental in that area... Delaney Park, Lake Davis/Cherokee are very active areas and it sucks to see the Boone track team, residents and disabled people get forced into the street because the sidewalk network is still incomplete in 2021. Cars parked on the street create blind spots which could lead to collisions with pedestrians forced to walk in the street where sidewalks terminate (I've almost been hit and have nearly run someone over as well). There have been minor sidewalk additions over the years, but it's still not enough!  /rant

    My street is brick with tons of pot holes and one on side of the street sidewalks exist about 30% of the block and the other side it's 10%, all on homes that have been built in the last decade. I've seen people in a wheelchair struggle to get down the street and when I have contacted the city they have said it's in their long term plan but not financially feasible at the moment due to the whole street needing to be redone.

    Pie in the sky would be for them to take over the entire vacant strip mall where Habit Burger was.  Probably still too small though 

    Not much parking there unless they made a deal with the MRI place next door to use their parking on the weekend since that lot sits completely empty. Crazy that all 3 businesses went under in that same strip, rarely do you see a verizon store go under but probably covid related?
