Different uses different widths. If you are installing a service walk around your garage, or similar area 24" wide is adequate. A front walk or an area where people walking in opposite directions will occassionaly meet should be 36" wide. A comfortable sidewalk where 2 people can walk side by side should be 60" wide.
ADA requires 36" minimum with turnouts for passing every 200', otherwise make it 60" wide without the need for turnouts.
While you are here lets talk about sidewalk thickness. Sidewalks should be 4" thick, but quite honestly most contractors use a 2x4 to form the sidewalk so they wind up being 3 1/2" thick, which works fine. If you will be driving a car or light truck over a section, increase it's thickness to 6"
Note these widths will work with all residential applications. Some commercial applications may require wider and thicker sidewalks.

How do you run electrical or drip line under an existing sidewalk?
To run electrical or drip line under an existing sidewalk, you can use a pipe or conduit that is large enough to accommodate the wires or tubing.

Then, use a tool such as a tunneling kit or water jet to bore a hole or create a tunnel underneath the sidewalk to run the lines. Once the lines are in place, backfill the trenches and repair any damage to the sidewalk.
