> .. a magnificent.. unexpected thing happened.. the wall of exclusion came down, everybody benefited—not only people in #wheelchairs. Parents pushing #strollers headed.. for curb cuts. So did #workers pushing heavy carts, business travelers wheeling #luggage, even runners and skateboarders. A study of #PedestrianBehavior at a Sarasota, Fla., shopping mall revealed that nine out of 10 “unencumbered pedestrians” go out of their way to use a #CurbCut.

#CurbCutEffect

@RJ @jsit Forgot to attach the photos for the Monday flooding near a #curbcut. I need to make a 311 complaint about this.

Here is an example of either poor design or poor execution of a #CurbCut on a multiuse trail. The ramp portion of the cut should be as wide as the trail and oriented in the direction of travel. This bad one causes one to swerve closer to traffic and prevents two way traffic for anyone rolling through. #cycling #BicycleInfrastructure
