Why might a sidewalk be built with periodic in it?

Why might sidewalks make periodic breaks in them?

Properly designed sidewalks have an expansion strip every so often. Since the materials used to make sidewalks can expand and contract with heat and cold, these expansion strips act as "cushions" to each section of the sidewalk. If the expansion strips are incorrectly installed, or damaged, it is possible for the sidewalk sections to buckle and/or crack. If you need to have your sidewalk repaired, make sure that the contractor properly installs expansion strips, usually by filling the gap with foam backer rod topped with a urethane sealant.

How might the grass growing up through a crack in a sidewalk affect the sidewalk?

The roots of the grass may further widen the crack in the sidewalk as it grows, causing potential trip hazards. Additionally, as the grass grows, it can retain moisture which may lead to further deterioration of the sidewalk over time. If left unchecked, the grass can also make the sidewalk more slippery when wet.
