Subject: Re: sidewalk vs. walkway



(I think I have now figured out how to get messages through. Let's see if

this one shows up.)



Born and raised in Utah, we always referred to the paved area for walking

that ran parallel to the road as the "sidewalk." (And it had to be

paved--usually with concrete. I remember how excited we were when I was about

10 and the city put sidewalks in on our street.)



To me, a "walkway" would be broader than a sidewalk and would be someplace

like an open shopping plaza.



The "sidewalk" leading to the front door would have to be the "front walk."

By definition, a sidewalk would have to be for walking along the street.
