text: The key is the promises made in the "may" and "eventually" manner.   Sidewalks funded by the city are only a dream unless you are downtown.  Ask how much the city has in road money and if they answer honestly the answer is next to nothing.  Ask the city about the transfer of sidewalk financial responsibility to abutting residents rather the city maintaining and paying for them.  
  
  The city mentions sewer services but they fail to mention the "connection fee" for said service and the escalating utility rates.  
  
  Then you have all those pesky nanny ordinances that the city council rubber stamps for most whims of the mayor and staff.  
  
  Don't even get me started on draining the financial resources from most every area within the city borders to fund there downtown self serving lunch stop district infatuation.  
  
  The only thing I see as a real benefit is a better coverage and faster response by the police department.
