So if the people say "nah - let's just not have them anymore" - you're okay with the county bearing 100% of the cost of maintaining them? Since they already pay 100% of the cost of maintaining all the other crosswalks in the county that are just pavement and not pavers/bricks.

I don't see why there can't be a shared expense. Let the county pay whatever they WOULD have to pay to maintain it, if it was normal pavement. And let the CDD cover everything over that amount.
