1)  Because the street is paved with asphalt, which is softer and kinder
to the feet and legs than the sidewalk, which is usually concrete.

2)  Because pedestrians and their dogs are much more unpredictable than
cars.

3)  Because the street is usually smoother and provides more sight lines
than a sidewalk.

I provide this info not to say that running on streets does not make
Walt's life more aggravating, but simply to explain the runner.
