As to getting rid of your sidewalk, I think you would need a permit from the Town - Town Code Section 181-5 says: "No sidewalk, curb or gutter shall be constructed or repaired or work thereon commenced" before you get a permit. I think demolition of the sidewalk in front of your house would qualify as 'work thereon'.

Where have you seen houses with no sidewalks in front?

LOL - I feel the EXACT same way about dog owners and walking them around in the middle of the night... in the middle of the street! The sidewalks are there for a reason people, please start using them, and please do NOT start taking them away!

There's a whole neighborhood in Garden City that mostly has no sidewalks.

Not TOH, but many places on the north shore won't have sidewalks.

Great question if your neighbors don't have sidewalks next to you can you remove yours?

To beautify the block I live on, can I remove my sidewalk to
Be uniform with my neighbor . In the area grass to the curbs
Is significant.

On two-way street, if there's no sidewalk, I always followed rule and always walk toward oncoming traffic b/c drivers will know there's people walking, but if people walking as same direction as traffic, distracted drivers cannot see them.

But would you have to shovel the grass?
