It's a Surveyor's stake not a utility marker. "R/W" stands for Right of Way. Right of Way is a legal term for property owners. Meaning, although you don't own the property...the sidewalk area...you and your neighbors have a legal right to use it to get to/from your property...aka easement.
It may seem silly to identify a sidewalk. All these property lines and coordinates are drawn on a map and filed with the city or county. All these lines and coordinates, however, just are not identified in the real world, so a surveyor needs to temporarily drawn them for construction.
