That would be in the submissions during the planning process.
Cost comparison of positioning junction boxes in line with footpaths versus the extra hassle of crossing a road - e.g. managing traffic during full/partial road closure, for no technical reason, would have been a consideration.
I do seem to remember, although it was a while ago, now, getting a notification of the planned works & the procedure if I wanted to protest.
I do sympathise, as I said, but the problem is to change the perception of the cool place to gather, in my opinion - the seat mentioned earlier is a good idea to try
