What is the actual likelihood of any sort of meaningful development along that side of Courtland? I think that the physical geography restricts the amount of room for infrastructure between Blockline and Hayward, and they already needed to move a lot of earth to do what has been done. That is a great expense to add sufficient width for a sidewalk alongside that track that will not see any use for the foreseeable future.
I really believe that streets should have sidewalks on both side whenever possible, but compromises do need to be made.
Yes, exactly. I can't imagine that anything would get built here. A massive terraforming effort was required here for many months (almost a year!) just to get the topology correct for LRT. Nothing is getting built here.
