If the "city" were to say anything, it would likely be to question how the scratches got in their asphalt.
The only issue of any consequence would be lots of sparks as your 5/8" sides are being quickly ground down.
Actually if you go to my "build" post, you will see that the 5/8 inch thick sides have 3/4"x 2" wide skids as wear plates, and the blades extend 3/4" below the skids. So if anything is going to hit the asphalt, it will be the blades which are angled about 35 degrees. My thoughts, it will be more than a scratch if I hit it at the right angle with the full force of the weight of the blade. My blades are Caterpillar brand Grader wear blades. I do know that if I catch the edge of a concrete sidewalk, the sidewalk looses. Did that by accident, and not with the full force of the entire weight on it.
