Washinton state built a highway interchange out in the boonies off a 2 lane state road. They put in sidewalks, traffic lights and crosswalks with walk don't walk lights. The sidewalks are about 100' long and just end. There are no houses or businesses within a couple of miles. I never saw anyone walking anywhere near it.
The cost was $52 million, if I remember correctly.
It was paid for with a 5 cent gas tax increase so they had a sign that said: "It's your nickel, watch it work." I would bet some congress critter made a lot of money on that deal.
