Unincorporated areas? Generally, I wouldn't expect them to need many sidewalks.

We’re at the stage now that City takes cash in lieu of sidewalks for new development a lot of the time. Then never puts them in. Win-win?! -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 12:51 2

  - Yup. Then pay much more later when residents demand (at least) one. -- nm - VMan Oct 1, 12:55
