a sidewalk to here?

Good morning.
Remember that new walkway I posted about a couple of weeks ago that goes from the library,  over to a nearby neighborhood? Well, here's where it comes out of the woods to the street.

Now you'll notice, there are no sidewalks on this side of the street, so it ends at the edge of the road.
Well, not really. If you look across the road to the other side, this is what you'll see...

Now there are no sidewalks on the other side of the street either, but for some unknown reason, they decided to pave a big square and put curbs around it, straight across from where the other sidewalk meets the road. It doesn't appear to serve any purpose I can see, but who knows.
Anyway, it's been a very busy week in the Salon and today is another one, so time to get going.
Have a great weekend!
