Yes the city has some rights. But in many areas it would be physically impossible to build a sidewalk because of the terrain. There are steep slopes to the lake in a lot of places.
I am sure when you proposed the idea of building a retaining wall into the lake and throwing in a little gravel fill DES would be happy with the plan and tell you to go right ahead!
At one time Laconia required anyone doing new construction along Weirs Boulevard, and many other places, to build a sidewalk with granite curb. You can see many of the "sidewalks to nowhere" along Weirs Boulevard. On the Boulevard in front of Evergreen is the first one that comes to mind. They have now backed off of that plan because numerous individual unconnected sidewalks were not accomplishing the desired results.
