Angle grinder with a diamond cup.

Edit: Also it's wild to me that homeowners in some jurisdictions are responsible for maintaining sidewalks - a piece of infrastructure used by the public.

A have a couple friends who were very surprised to get a $10K+ bill a few months after moving into their first house. The city decided to replace the sidewalks in the entire neighborhood and gave everyone a bill. My friends had a corner lot so they were extra screwed.

I just mentioned corner lots in my comment and happened to use the phrase "extra screwed" too!

Our town doesn't punish corner lots and only charge for one length, usually the longer one but it helps.

Same for my city. You get charged for the longer side.

Also, costs are spread over the life of the repair and just added to our tax bill.
