@CasterTroy what in the Liberal lala land, woke BS, left wing utopian crap is it with ridiculously wide sidewalks on new municipal projects these days? New Atrium Hospital at hwy 74 and Stallings rd IN Stallings, NC has a sidewalk wider than most URE trails. I also see very wide ones on many new projects these. WTF is the reasoning? Let's add in curb islands in major roadways that will only result in terribly vehicular damage WHEN they are hit WTF Man? (I know/hope you're not responsible! LOL)
 
Required by zoning.
 
Ive noticed this a lot. Its not exactly new. I did a job at UNCA and the sidewalk was 12' iirc. I did all those curved aluminum rails.
 
As long as they are not reducing the size of the road to fit in the larger path, I think it's ok.

If you have a 12' path off the road, you have space for bikes and walkers. I'm not a fan of tearing up the roads to make room for bike lanes (that's a trend in liberal lala land). But I have seen areas where extensive adequate bike paths make it realistic to use your bike vs. driving.
