That's the end of a newer section of sidewalk. There wasn't even a sidewalk there 10 years ago.

Correct.

When the Angler Inn, the property this is on, did their remodel they were required to install a sidewalk... but the Taco Bell sidewalk didn't extend to the property edge, so this is what we get.

In short, blame Taco Bell for where they put their planter.

Or blame the city planning for prioritizing signs and planters over walkability...

Obviously not. I'm saying Springfields lack of city planning is ultimately what is to blame. Plenty of other cities don't have the extreme ugliness that is Glenstone. That's a city planning problem. lots of places that do actually care about walkability don't put sidewalk building and maintenance solely on businesses. Once again, city planning.

They do, ish. The landscaping plan would have been submitted for approval along with the building plans. And they wouldn’t get a building permit without it.
