The city recently added sidewalks to my (low traffic) street after doing some sewer upgrades. Lots of people continue to walk on the street because it's consistently flat, as opposed to the dip and slope you encounter on the sidewalk at each driveway entrance. These can be more treacherous in the winter because you now have ice on a slope. People with (even mild) mobility issues seem to be disproportionately affected.

A simple solution is to not dip the sidewalks. Just have a larger bump for cars.
