Not a sidewalk or drying expert, but I don’t think that’s whats happening here, given that its localized to small area, and the pattern stops being a wave where it terminates.

My intrusive thoughts would make me want to walk along the curved snake path even though I’m a grown ass man in his 40’s.

You from a colder area? Sometimes they’ll run hoses or pipes under streets and sidewalks to warm them up and prevent ice buildup. Looks like a hose ran under the sidewalk and the heat drying the water from it.

It’s probably liquid de-icer.

You can literally still see the salt in the stretch closer to the camera when you zoom in.
When there’s only a light frost or light snow, not enough to spread the salt out, that area will show wet ground while the rest is covered in frost/light snow. But when it melts, the area with the salt will dry last.
It’s common to see where you usually spread the salt over an area where you get a much more random patchwork of high/low concentration of salt which makes it fun to play floor is lava, but that approach also tosses a lot of the salt straight onto the grass. This is peculiar because there was probably some instrument that prevents a lot of the waste straight onto the grass, but it’s not that common to see.

Have you checked the area for unusually large snails or slugs?

I don’t want to alarm you… but there might be a big-ass snail lurking in your neighborhood.

Liquid de-icer from a backpack sprayer. Somebody walking down the sidewalk spraying back and forth.

Ope, that was me. I was having a pee, and someone told me a funny joke.
