>Depends on your definition of significant and sidewalk. It does add cost, so it's not insignificant (you can observe it with confidence).

What a bad-faith definition you're using here. By this definition if you reimbursed a road worker for a penny they dropped during their shift building the road it'd be a significant expense.

It seems you are making a bad-faith interpretation. If you read the rest of my comment you will see I gave an example of a state that it would not be feasible to build sidewalks for all roads given the current economic situation. Furthermore, your example of a worker being reimbursed for dropping a penny seems to be entirely fictious.

Do you have any actual data to support the idea that sidewalks for all roads are a feasible goal?
