The last time they installed sidewalks, they were installed between a Target that you can't get to unless you drive, and a commercial area that's about a mile away. I'm not sure what the percentage of people who are going to walk from work to target on their lunch break is, but that's what they did.
The other sidewalk that they tried to put in, was in front of the township building. Which is between to a horse farm and a forest. I get the "if you build it they will come" mentality, but I don't think it applies for trees and horses.
Yeah that's just designed to fail. If you design a shitshow and then say "well let's not do this again because it failed" then you're just being disingenuous. Governments should take a hint from the Netherlands on hoe to do bicycle infrastructure. You can ride anywhere in the country on bike, there are more bicycle roads than car roads
