Default How wide is your sidewalk?

Silly question, but without the random thoughts thread....

Anyway the city is replacing all the sidewalks in my community. IMHO they are quite wide. I would have liked to see them go narrower. I used to live in community that only had sidewalks on one side of street and they were about 4 feet wide.

Here we have walks on both sides and they are 5 feet wide.

Purely selfish - - I hate shoveling snow and with a corner lot and a driveway, let me tell you a foot narrower sidewalk would be awesome.

On another front, it would be safer for bikers on the street, given it would widen the street.

Cost wise ?? I don't know which is cheaper concrete or asphalt? I'm thinking the asphalt is.
