It depends on where the sidewalk is. A sidewalk situated on private property, such as the entry way to a commercial building or church, is private property.
Sidewalks along the street are treated differently. Although the landowner may own the land up to the center line of the street, generally, the town has taken easement rights that create rights in the public to use the street and sidewalk for all purposes of a public way. In that case, although the sidewalk is on private property the public has the right to use it for passage.
