Here's a hi-res scan of some leaves from a tree, about 25-feet tall,
that is growing next to, and over, the sidewalk in a NW New Jersey
town.
I cannot find this leaf pattern in my Audubon Eastern US tree field
guide.
There are 7 leaves to a leaf cluster.

Can anyone ID it?
It is a laceleaf maple, most likely either an Acer palmatum var. dissectum
cultivar or an Acer japonicum. Lots of different cultivars of both - very
commonly planted trees. Obviously a non-native, which may be why you didn't
find it in the field guide.
