I moved to the suburbs recently where the pavement has a narrow strip of grass between where people normally walk and the road were vehicles go.
My question is, who should take care of that grass?
I tried to find an answer online but all of them discuss the scenario when the grass is between the property and the pavement.

Are you scared of butterflyes? If no just leave it alone
Check what kind of road is it – if it belongs to the city the county or is it national.
street – city property
pavement – city property
land in-between – yeah, city property
The city is responsible, but it’s not like you can do anything like sue the city for not cutting it.
“I tried to find an answer online but all of them discuss the scenario when the grass is between the property and the pavement.”
I would take that to mean that your responsibility extends to the pavement at most (as in some cases it’s your job to clear it of snow/ice).
It depends. If you drink alcohol there it’s public space. If someone break a leg on ice it’s your fault.
In the suburbs its the property owner i think. 5 meters off the fence is your problem
Plant some tree there, wait for someone to report you and then people responsible for it will show up
If it is located in a city within a urban environment or on main road Municipality is usually taking care. Anyway do as your neighbor are doing. In Poland there is a huge number or not written rules and this is one of them.
Polish “suburbs” are not like American ones, this is all responsibility of city/county youre in, unless something is on the property you bought, dont worry abt it. I mean nobody is gonna stop you from watering it but ehhh its just a small piece of grass
As someone working in a company cutting those grass plots, it belongs to the city and if a city will put a contract on it, a private company will cut it unless you put a little “fence” around it or other indicator that you don’t want it cut (like a small sign or some flowers)
Looks like Formula 1 track project.
Talk to your neighbors. They should know what the status quo is where they live. When it comes to snow/ice it’s almost certainly on you as it’s too risky to leave it who knows how many hours for someone to show up. With grass it depends. Especially in more rural areas.
Probably the city, but you can too
