A lot of Mission Bay looks just like this IMO. Most of the nice landscaping and paving is on private property outside of the ROW lines. They do have some sidewalk pavers on certain streets, but they also don't have frost heave. In Chicago, pavers are an invitation for ADA lawsuits after a few winters.
Also keep in mind that individual developments at The 78 can and will include upgrades to the public way. I expect to see better landscaping, benches, bike racks, and maybe even upgraded pavements put in, one building at a time.
