Where are the sidewalks?

The Seattle Times posted a really great article yesterday explaining why Seattle doesn’t have nearly as many sidewalks as it should. The main reason is that Seattle annexed neighborhoods from King County that didn’t require sidewalks to be built when the neighborhoods were built. The city hasn’t been able to focus on building those sidewalks ever since. Personally, I always thought that any local city council candidate who positioned themselves as the sidewalk candidate would probably do pretty well - that is until the next election when the sidewalks still weren’t built.
