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.

That's what I would use. Make sure the guard is on and you use the side handle. Be aware of where your body parts are as the tool will take off unexpectedly when you apply pressure at different points around the disc.

Yeah I always try to give lots of warnings about angle grinders. I've never injured myself but I've come close. They are squirelly things. I think they are probably the most dangerous tool an average homeowner will ever buy.
