The current system means the City still specs the technical requirements and design of the sidewalk, you just get the developer managing the process directly instead of the City which I think is probably more efficient.

The broadway plan is 30 years. 30 years to have a half-made sidewalk that the city needs to complete because you know from the beginning it's impossible that 100% of the buldings can be redeveloped.
Like i said, small town in the middle of nowhere, 50k people in it, similar street, everything done in 1 year by the city.
There is no way that our system can be defined "efficient".
Cheaper doesn't mean that it makes sense if you don't actually get the product. It's like you need a car to go to work, the car costs 50k and the dealer tells you "i can do 5k, 10 times less, but you get it in half a century, in the meantime you walk".
