SwimModSponges Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 No that's what the grass is for. If you put the garbage bins on the concrete part, you're blocking the sidewalk.
SwimModSponges Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 There's a driveway in the upper left corner. It's literally the exact same thing.

scoobdog Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 My brother's 1906 house has that, along with the original curb and brick gutter. No idea what the exact purpose is, but, I suspect it would have made sense for curbside carriage or early automobile to have an access across the parkway (easement with trees between the curb and sidewalk). The house does not have a front facing driveway; the garage is off an alley in the back and isn't even original to the house.

Even pre-automobile, it was difficult to cross streets in the middle of blocks because the curbs were far deeper. Most of the century or older side streets in Los Angeles existed before there was a comprehensive storm water system, so stepping off the curb could be stepping into a river.
cyberbully Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I thought that was so you could park there and get out without stepping in grass. 1
SwimModSponges Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 Why wouldn't you want to step on grass? That's what it's there for.
