<p>I think, that splitting would be important if the sidewalk should
be used for routing purposes and a missing connectivity depends on
that. That could be important for e.g. wheelchair access or
whatever special routings someone wants to do. Then it's
realistic, no matter how short the new way would be. Sometimes it
is possible to move a connecting node on a straight street instead
of splitting the way.<br>
