3.2  Sidewalk Layouts

There are generally three ways that sidewalks are installed in the right of way. The most common layout involves a curb and gutter at the edge of the street, followed by a grass filler, and finally by the sidewalk (See Figure 3.2a). The filler may be made of materials other than grass; like concrete, brick, asphalt, stone/gravel, etc.

Another layout involves the sidewalk located directly beside the curb and gutter, with no filler. The curb & gutter is usually poured first, allowed time to cure and the sidewalk is poured after, with a joint separating the two (See Figure 3.2b).
