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??
Why? The developer is saving millions of dollars by not installing sidewalks. Plus money is saved by not having to maintain sidewalks.
