errrr...but don't most sidewalked roads have buildings on them?\

In most of the residential areas of Madison there is a lawn between the
sidewalk and the houses/apartments. Outside of the downtown area, most
businesses have a landscaped area between the sidewalk (where they
exist) and the building and/or parking lot.
