| Agree with the wiki article. Growing up in Minneapolis it was called a boulevard. |

| In Fargo, they referred to it as the "boulevard". |

| I've heard referred to as an easement when I've heard it referred to at all. The Devil's Strip sounds bad ass though. |

If I tell you it's the bit of land between the sidewalk and the street, what do you call it instead? |
Strange - I don't know what it's called, but the question gives me a strange sense of deja vu. Has it been asked here before? I'd swear I've hear it asked before. |

| I've never heard of any of these expressions. It never occurred to me that that thing would need a name. |

| We don't seem to have those in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona. The pavement goes all the way to the curb. I remember them in Pittsburgh. If I ever knew what they were called, I don't remember now. |

| I've lived my whole life in Mass and southern NH, and I've never heard it called anything. Of course, I was always in the more rural areas, and have never lived on a street with a sidewalk. |

Here in Massachusetts, we call it the tree belt.
As in, "We didn't want our old TV anymore, so we put it out on the tree belt with a sign that said 'FREE'."
I've never heard of devil strip, or any other name for this area. |

I don't know why you would regularly have land between the sidewalk and the street.
I'm from Kansas. Never heard that terminology. Never gave that strip of land any particular name either. |
