Agreed. There is no way this photo doesn’t represent a screw-up. Either there should be a path all the way across the road, or no curb cuts and textured edges. Which is correct is highly context-dependent, but it never makes sense to have unmatched curb cuts in all-new construction.
(If one side was new, with a cut, and the other old, with no cut (or vice-versa), it could make sense if there were a long-term plan to have a consistent plan)
The interesting questions are how this definite screw-up happened, and whether and how it will be fixed.
There is such a thing as giving too much deference to expertise, although I will admit that in our society at present the politically dominant error is completely ignoring expert opinion.
