The corners are required to be handicap accessible by ADA the Federal Government, not your local municipality. Curb and gutter replacement that you might think is good have subsurface failure as does the complete roadbed. This is why your streets are being replaced and repaired - properly I might add.
Funny how they are tearing out some sections for a second time, and adding others. Face it, the more the contractor tears out the more he gets paid, I'm quite sure it is unit pricing.
As far as the ADA requirements go I can't confirm whether or not the Feds regulate every sidewalk in every 20+ year old subdivision in LA. Regardless it is a waste.

If a simple overlay is done you would be posting here in two years complaining about the shitty job that the contractor did.
Negative ghostrider. They repaired the failing sub grade spots already. An overlay is acceptable for residential traffic provided sub grade failures are addressed.

Not glad the money is not being spent wisely. And that is the problem with government. While the populace has to find ways to do more with less, the Govt gets to find ways to spend more and then complain with their hands out when the money runs out.

You think they added ramps to get some contractors paid? It's far more likely it was part of a settlement agreement. And you probably wouldn't think it was a waste if you were in a wheelchair, either.
A similar situation arose in my neighborhood a year or two ago. There were complaints *exactly* like yours, until the city responded with the details of the settlement and class action lawsuit that prompted it and folks just kinda quieted down
