Infrastructure - Upper Sidewalks
"At least in the cubes you maintain your catwalks, because you have to walk on them. Highrise owners don't always live nearby, so what do they care if the sidewalk is unsafe?"
- Highrise Resident
Each building owner was responsible for building and maintaining upper level sidewalks. Often, two or more owners would pool money and have one walk built, as can be seen here extending from the stairs on the upper right, to the street corner on the left. The problem is, nobody is too anxious to foot the bill for repairs. Railings are rare, and falls are common enough.
A few slices of life from the Cyber City display from Brickworld 2013. Look for it again at BrickFair Virginia in August.
