Note: I realize the tone of my writing could sound judgemental, but I'm just trying to be informative and answer the question above ♥️
Major utility/roadwork is being done. It's not just the sidewalk that's affected but also at least a lane of roadway. Likely the driveway to the road has a temporary gravel apron. Since this sidewalk has steps there's no need for temporary ADA accommodations, which the homeowner would have negotiated with the local governing body before construction began. So if they need to walk somewhere they either walk in the grass or cross the road to walk in that sidewalk, if it exists. You can see the sidewalk has been torn up along with the asphalt
There should be more and better pedestrian access in the burbs. That being said, improvements happen in public easement, and it's not always convenient. For anyone
It's nice you took it so earnestly to be helpful, but I think you got wooshed.
I stand by my earnest honesty
Last time it was a line from Red Dwarf, which is on my list to finally watch, but below a complete marathon of Star Trek
No idea if you were wooshed but personally, I always appreciate an informative answer like yours. Thank you.
Oh. I wasn't giving you a hard time. I was just thinking stepping out in the morning to walk my dog and seeing that. WTF?
Lol no worries
The hydrants. They're plotting…something. Lying there, all unexpectedly long and stuff
