I'd be pretty choked if the city came to me asking to pay for part of the sidewalk beside my house. The only time I really use it is when I shovel the damn thing (at a cost of a shovel per year), but it sees a lot of use by those in the cul-de-sac (who don't have any public walk) and people wandering around the area. These maintenance projects should definitely come out of the same pool as road maintenance.
