Sidewalk & Curb Complaints:

Other: At the NW corner of the intersection of 12th and Fess, there is a relatively new, ADA-compliant sidewalk/curb installation. There may be physical and/or legal reasons for having the center, raised concrete portion present, but it is not obvious and as a result is a trip hazard. We have tripped on it several times. There is a current project at the same intersection, so we were hoping that they could redo it or at least paint the section yellow so that it stands out. It is dangerous the way it is now.

At this location the sidewalk ramps were built to try and balance tripping hazards with pedestrian safety from cars turning and potentially entering the ramps. In this case, the concrete section between the two ramps was made to protect pedestrians by creating a barrier between the cars turning and the pedestrians waiting on the ramp to cross. Unfortunately, this has created a potential tripping hazard that can't be avoided. The inclines also can not be painted as the yellow typically refers to no parking and not an indication of a tripping hazard in this case. Thank you for bringing this to our attention for review. We always appreciate these cases.

Alex, this is not an ADA ramp that we installed.
