I suppose I could have used the title “Where the Sidewalk Ends” for this post, in tribute to my favorite Shel Silverstein book, but I already used that title here. This is also where the sidewalk begins, thanks to your tax dollars. There isn’t anywhere for this sidewalk to go, unless it’s meant to lead people to their untimely demise on the other side of that railing. It’s a good way to go *splat on Memorial Highway (or west Main Avenue, if you prefer” but not an advisable course for the would-be pedestrian.

There’s always the chance that this sidewalk is going to hang a sharp right and connect with the adjacent driveway, whose corner is protruding into the bottom right corner of this photo. In that case, the money is probably coming from somewhere other than the funding from this job, and will have to be done seperately and at greater expense. After all, I’m sure some ADA money went to the little slab you see here, but the sidewalk itself would have to be paid for by other city funds. Ain’t government grand? At least it’s good for an occasional laugh…albeit at our own expense.
