Ballistic: Hydrants Vs Sidewalks

I saw this while driving the other day and had to turn around to take the picture.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

This is a newly constructed sidewalk.  I wonder how this kind of thing happens.  It's not like the workers who were putting in the forms didn't see the fire hydrant.  And you can't see in this picture but the sidewalk continues about 50 yards further (by the sign).  Maybe this is less of a sidewalk and more of a path to the hydrant.  And I, of course, assumed that this was an isolated incident but field correspondent Father Chaos sent me the picture below.  Maybe I need to study civil engineering to understand.
