My section of my neighborhood has a strip of grass between the sidewalk and the road. Some of the other roads in my neighborhood don't have the strip of grass at all. Those houses have brick mailboxes built next to the road on top of the sidewalk. A few of those houses have had to replace their brick mailboxes, but the replacements are put in the same place on the sidewalk.
