If you require the footing of sidewalks wherever you walk, I suggest you move to Lynnwood.  The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. We who have been here for decades came and settled because we liked the rural nature some seek to destroy.  Towns filled with sidewalks generally have one thing in common...we don't want to live there.  Hey worst City Council ever, take that $24,500 and lower everyone's water/sewer bill. That's at least something everyone would like.
