This Little Free Libary is on a public right-of-way along a public sidewalk in an area with many people passing this location while exercising. This wayspot has been approved many times and within a week of its approval, it is removed. This is a valid portal according to all the guidelines and should be restored permanently.

That looks like it is situated on private residential property. If it was on the other side of the sidewalk you might get away with it (though I notice there's a personal mailbox there, so maybe not), but from what street view shows, it seems to be in the front yard of the house numbered 2540.
A public sidewalk isn't in someones front yard, it is public property. The public right of way. They do pass by peoples yards, but if we went with that, there would not be any stops. As for "on the other side of the sidewalk", Really? Yea, lets put the thing kids are going to be going in to closer to the road, not further away. Guess you don't have children.

Yes, but whilst you might be able to access it from the sidewalk, and it might be intended for public usage, that doesn't stop Niantic from classing it as on private residential property. They have been pretty clear about this in the past.

Correct, I don't, and I won't ever be having children. I do have a brain though. Putting it on the other side of the sidewalk would not be any less safe as it would still be facing the sidewalk and be accessible from it 🤦♂️
