You're correct that as redevelopment occurs along 82nd, property owners are asked to dedicate further space to the right of way to allow for more pedestrian access. This, of course, is a slow process as it happens project by project.

Expanding sidewalks into the roadway is not feasible on 82nd given the limited amount of right of way and the need to provide the capacity for traffic.

By the way, 82nd is officially a state facility and owned by the state. This means that we need to consult and get the approval from the state on certain transportation projects or development that could affect 82nd traffic.
