I prefer sidewalks, though my street has none. There are quite a few people who walk on my street by my house in all seasons as it leads to a bus stop on an arterial right at the corner where I live. The arterial has sidewalks (concrete) plus an asphalt raised bike track.
In fairness though most single-use residential streets in Europe (THE reference on SSP) don't have sidewalks and many don't even have curbs.
I have friends who live not too far from here:
