Sidewalks to nowhere...

Sidewalks to nowhere

As seen in the photo above, Shannon Rd. Durham NC, between Martin Luther King Parkway and Old Chapel Hill Rd. headed toward Shannon Plaza.

One walks on lovely sidewalks, then for no rhyme or reason, for fifty feet or so the sidewalk stops and the path becomes dirt.  This is just one of countless sidewalks to nowhere.

Durham, NC has a sidewalk ordinance and Durham NC governement demands payment in lieu of by builders and developers, whereby the builders and developers can pay the county a ransom and NOT build sidewalks as required by their commercial or developmental endeavors.

I must ask and I must know, where oh where to those payments in lieu of go?
