well u either walk on the road or u walk on the grass, but every house is not the same, so the grass of one house will end, and a yard thick of sidewalk will be there until it gets to the next house with grassy sidewalks, some people have fences a yard from the road wether or not their sidewalk has grass, but soem people yell at u if u dont walk in the street

Answer 1

YES.

Answer 2

Call the city or town property inspector, because the sidewalk is city/town property, not the property of the jackoff who is growing grass on it. I'd love to see them slapped with a building code violation for extending their property outside of their legal boundaires. The only way to make them stop is by hitting them in the wallet where it hurts. Call in the big guns and let the city/town deal with it.

My folks live in a posh little neighborhood where some of the local residents have paid huge sums of money to have their sidewalks redone with custom stone and other masonry work. The city came in to repave the road and ended up tearing up all these "custom" sidewalks, even as the local residents were whining and protesting about it. The city basically gave them the ole "F**K YOU" because the sidewalk is city property, not private property.

On a side not, I live in the suburbs and there are some houses in which the front lawn extends all the way to the curb and there is no visible sidewalk to walk on, forcing pedestrians to walk along the curb. Other houses have a clearly defined sidewalk to walk on, albet a bit narrow, but if the owners of these homes were to start extending their lawn onto what is considered a public walkway, all hell would break loose and the property owner would be knee deep in fines. Check with your town board to see where the property line ends, because if they are illegally extending their lawn onto what should be a public sidewalk, then you have a valid argument.

Answer 3

I have never had said problem...in fact I'm not really sure what you are asking. Why would you plant grass on a sidewalk?

Weird I tell ya' very very weird.

Answer 4

if it's part of the sidewalk then you are right, but if it's within their yard then you are wrong.

Answer 5

People can't plantgrass on a sidewalk... that's illegal

Answer 6

What kind of grass was it, first of all.
