Why doesn't Disney extend sidewalk from RIV ro hollywood?

All other deluxe resorts have a walk option to somewhere all except RIV. VGF prior to the walkway always had the boat or monorail option - two options RIV only has the option of the skyline - there are no buses to epcot or hollywood unless skyline goes down.

This isn't entirely true.
Animal Kingdom Lodge isn't walking distance to any park. A bus is required even for Animal Kingdom.
Wilderness Lodge has a boat to Magic Kingdom but isn't walking distance to anywhere except Fort Wilderness.
Riviera is walking distance from Caribbean Beach.

Animal kingdom is completely different - that one is really more about the experience and there are other things offered there - as I think that is the only resort that offers club level rooms. CCV can walk to fort wilderness which offers many many activities.

But not everyone likes the skyline. My son will not ride in it. When we stay there he drives to the parks. All other deluxe resorts have a walk option to somewhere all except RIV. VGF prior to the walkway always had the boat or monorail option - two options RIV only has the option of the skyline - there are no buses to epcot or hollywood unless skyline goes down.

Your initial statement is still incorrect. Riviera is not the only deluxe resort from which you cannot walk somewhere. Animal Kingdom lodge does not have walking capability to anywhere currently.

I also agree it will never be built due to minimal use. We own at BW and walk to DHS multiple times a trip at different times of the day. Quite often we are the only people on the entire path.
