I'm sure the building codes require a certain amount of space around what they're doing depending on what it is as well, and probably some things where even a covered walkway wouldn't be considered safe, maybe the differences in building codes is part of it?
Sometimes there are reasons.

Exactly. My husband works in an industry where he is sometiems required to close roads and sidewalks. There are actually pretty strict rules about it and his closures are usually less than a week.
I personally don't think a covered walkway is acceptable for a building demolition. What if a chunk of concrete breaks off and crashes through? Better to move people to the other side of the street where it is safe.
