NYC GlueLooking into ADA requirements for ramps and steps but found a bit about how curb ramps should prevent an accumulation of water.
https://www.access-board.gov/ada/guides/chapter-4-ramps-and-curb-ramps/
Paragraph 406.1 says that Curb ramps must be designed to prevent an accumulation of water.
Does that mean all intersections where there are curb ramps and water accumulates are out of compliance? Sounds this a motivation for continuous sidewalks?
