Sidewalks are often constructed to comply with the Federal ADA law (Americans with Disabilities Act). The law requires pedestrian access to many facilities, and it is very detailed regarding where sidewalks are required and how they are constructed. That is why you often see sidewalks being constructed where they appear to be unnecessary. I think the ADA law was probably cited as justification for the sidewalk along Route 44.
