That's how zoning regulations tend to play out. In most US cities, the onus to build sidewalks is on developers, since pretty much every city is broke. Older code didn't require it, so now it's only going to get built if the property gets redeveloped, and sometimes not even then if it doesn't trigger the right regulations.
The sidewalk just ends?
And the street begins.
The dark street that winds and bends. ...
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow...
We'll go where the chalk-white arrows go...
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
