There was a developer that wanted to develop some land out in the country but still within the city limits (it’s a rural but growing area) along a busy state highway. The city commission insisted that he put in sidewalks on both sides of the road for 3/8 mile in both directions before they would approve his project. Remember that this is an area two miles outside of town in what is now fields and trees. I guess he didn’t cross the right palms with silver.

Well, perhaps you are stuck on the present and not looking to the future.
With the probable growth, sidewalks will be needed

You have some smart people on your city commission who are doing their jobs well. When you review a development application, you don’t let the developer design the infrastructure for the conditions TODAY. You design it to meet the needs of the area when all the undeveloped land around it is built out according to a master plan that may take years to develop.
Full disclosure … I am a civil engineer and I deal with this sort of thing all the time in my work.
