So if the city has a list of sidewalk needs, they should be ranked based on a clear set of factors, including: the presence of other sidewalks, proximity to schools (elementary in particular), proximity to mass transit, etc.[/quote]

Leaving aside the color of money question (which means not all of these are interchangeable in terms of budget) I note that you do not mention the speed and volume of traffic on the road, the difficulty of crossing to a sidewalk on the opposite side, etc.    The factors that were particularly present on pre-reconfiguration Seminary (and would be present again were it returned to four lanes) [/quote]

I did address it. They added four or five pedestrians islands and will install RFBs. Also, the speed limit on this road is the same as local roads. Cars don’t obey the speed limits on either the local roads or Seminary.  In fact, the 85th percentile speed limits on lower Yale are only slightly lower than Seminary.  But that’s public and affordable housing, not millionaire homeowners. [/quote]

How you get drivers to slow down: changes in road design. For example, road diets.[/quote]

What does that have to find with million dollar state funded grants for a 1/4 mile of sidewalk? What does that have to do with prioritizing locations that have no sidewalks over those that do? And what does that have to do with the fact that the non-tax paying entity which advocated for this sidewalk won’t grant an easement on their property so tax payers don’t have to fund it? [/quote]
