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??
Don't know where you live but south of 44 we have MMP's.... Hundreds of miles of them. No need for sidewalks here.
As I recall the only place there are actually sidewalks in front of homes is in that one development by Lake Sumter Landing.
