"You can find all your characters by tapping the sidewalk sign in the bottom right corner. You can also transport the characters and anything they are holding between locations via the sidewalk."
― Design notes | Letter from the Play Designer[[source]]
The Sidewalk is a yellow-colored tab, similar to the Character Expressions tab, which is apart at the left. It serves as a tray for characters to transport from different locations and even Houses exclusive to the Home Designer. Characters can be selected and rearranged. More characters can be found by scrolling left or right.
When you tap the tab, it opens, which brings up the pavement and the characters on it. It makes a short school bus ring, followed by footsteps of characters walking towards the center of the sidewalk. When you tap it again, the tab closes and makes the same sounds except the characters walk backwards.
