I was simply passing on information from an informed person in the district, who attended the Board of Public Works meeting the last time this came up. She told me that there were people not wanting the street to be easy to walk for certain groups. "I don't want people walking by my house." - often tinged with concerns about a certain group of people - is not unheard of as an argument against sidewalks, although it is less common in Madison.
I agree that sidewalks should be paid for in the same way as streets. However, that city policy is not going to change before this item is decided. I posted this so that supporters of sidewalks could be advised that they might want to speak up in favor of same. Carry on.
