Because there are no sidewalks, I see a lot of people walking in the street where they can be hit by cars. Instead of spending money on a sidewalk along 44 - where very few people walk - wouldn’t it be better spent in the residential areas where thousands walk every day??
Sidewalks are designed to get people (without cars) to places (businesses) they have to get to. They generally are not "walking paths".
