i work for a contractor that wins public improvement bids pretty often (road widening, bridge repair, etc). a sidewalk and a traffic-adjacent bike lane is all you're ever gonna get if you're lucky. shit, if the municipality comes into some federal funding, maybe you can get a flashing crosswalk. oh and shittons of roads for cars.
