Most of the others would make a mess in the fall or rip up the sidewalk.

If by non-fruiting sweetgum, you mean Liquidambar, this tree is notorious for
developing a lot of surface roots which will definitely heave sidewalks in a
matter of just a few years. For this reason, it is no longer recommended as a
street tree in this area.
