Or the guy from the other city will show up if he thinks it’s part of the “road diet” conspiracy and who knows from there. But actually yes, the local governmental problems have everything to do with whether a dangerous road condition is addressed. If someone is maimed or dies and they or their family sue the city, then the city might do something. They are only fixing sidewalks because they have been compelled to do so by a massive ADA lawsuit.
