NYC Glue<p>Looking into ADA requirements for ramps and steps but found a bit about how curb ramps should prevent an accumulation of water.<br><a href="https://www.access-board.gov/ada/guides/chapter-4-ramps-and-curb-ramps/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">access-board.gov/ada/guides/ch</span><span class="invisible">apter-4-ramps-and-curb-ramps/</span></a></p><p>Paragraph 406.1 says that Curb ramps must be designed to prevent an accumulation of water.<br>Does that mean all intersections where there are curb ramps and water accumulates are out of compliance? Sounds this a motivation for continuous sidewalks?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/continuousSidewalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>continuousSidewalks</span></a> <br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Ada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ada</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ramps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ramps</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/drainage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>drainage</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cUrbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cUrbs</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/raisedcrosswalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raisedcrosswalks</span></a></p>
MobilityMaine<p>Raised sidewalks: Are these doable in cities that do significant snow-plowing? <span class="h-card"><a href="https://urbanists.social/@AmericanFietser" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>AmericanFietser</span></a></span> posted (on the bird site) a great video of one in a warm climate. A city transportation employee here in Maine told me these don't work with snow plows. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/winterBiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>winterBiking</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/walkability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>walkability</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/15minutecities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>15minutecities</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/raisedcrosswalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raisedcrosswalks</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/crosswalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crosswalks</span></a></p>
