Probably to keep cars off the sidewalk. Sidewalks are not made from concrete with a high enough Density to support the weight of a car. Cars and especially trucks crush sidewalks.

Is there construction nearby? If not it might be there so people don't park on sidewalk

This is what I was going to say. If you get rid of it, you may then have issues of people parking there

Interesting. It does seem to be some sort of curb cut. Some have addresses of the homes. I know many homes are the block we’re abandoned before so I feel like they were markers in some way too

Sidewalk parkers are a big issue in some Philly neighborhoods. Some people will install bollards or put a large concrete planter to prevent sidewalk parking, so this is def not out of the norm.

I need something like this to keep cars off the sidewalk in front of my house. Some cars will park with two tires on the curb because it’s a narrow street, but of course some assholes don’t get it and park half their car on the sidewalk in front of my steps. I had to be removed by medical services in a chair and walk to the ambulance another time because they can’t get to me.

My neighbor wrote a note and smacked it on a parked car once. It read: don't park on my concrete, I've already had to replace my pipes. Other neighbors just drag their bike pedals across cars parked out front. Other people place poles.
