My ballot here in a suburb of Minneapolis was two-sided. Page two had only judges, a few dozen of them. All incumbents, all running unopposed.
My suburban “city” of a bit over 2,000 has a pretty good system of sidewalks in and around downtown, but not beyond that. My residential street doesn’t have them but the physical geography would make them hard to put in; in some places the land is quite steep right next to the edge of the street.
Denver's population is over 700k, and that's not counting the burbs; it's crazy that we don't have better public transport/sidewalks/bike lanes.
We have some streets like you describe, but it's the older neighborhoods and the houses are basically all up on hills, then there's a steep decline down to the sidewalk and street level. Good for floods so they don't get house damage!
