This isn't always so cut and dry. In some older neighborhoods, the homes predate the sidewalks, sometimes by up to a hundred years!
So as part of the agreement, the city might maintain rights of the easement for the sidewalk, but the homes/streets/driveways were never designed with a sidewalk bisecting them.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoAny easement agreement does not supersede the law. Blocking the sidewalk is against the law.
