| It's so when they dig the sidewalk on one side of the groove in the future,
it'll separate cleanly along the groove rather than coming up raggedly (and
possibly damaging nearby foundations, etc.)

| I can't believe that. The grove is a really non-uniform pattern.
Thanks for bringing this up. I've been wondering about it for weeks.
My own guess is that some kind of wire (traffic signals, or something
like that?) is going to be put down in the groove.

| 57.3 | .1 has it | REGENT::GETTYS | Bob Gettys N1BRM | Thu Apr 09 1987 10:35 | 6 |
| .1 is correct. It is so that they can break up the
majority of the sidewalk without damaging the buildings or
pavement beyond it using heavy equipment. They will then
carefully break up the part still against the buildings.

| I heard it was for the reason described so that ultimately new
sidewalks can be installed. Oh boy, fresh concrete for people to
inscribe their initials.

| Grooves in the sidewalks are also for expansion and contraction in
climate changes to help prevent breaking up.
