I just realized I don’t have a good sense of what the policy is for new streets, although I regularly hear about these controversies regarding existing roads. Even Westmount Rd. had people whining about the completion of the west-side sidewalk not very long ago.
Yes, sorry, only for re-construction, new construction seems to usually include sidewalks, I'm sure it's in some standards doc...although only for urban context roads, which is why shit like Highland Rd. and Victoria St. existed for so long.
Highland and Victoria were much older construction, though; I expect sidewalks were not required at the time.
