Section 17H.010.200 Curb Ramps
- At all intersections where new curbs, sidewalks or both are to be constructed, curb ramps are to be placed and constructed as shown on the standard plans.

- Not less than two curb ramps per lineal block shall be constructed on or near the crosswalks at intersections or other convenient locations approved by the director of engineering services. Two curb ramps are required on each corner unless utilities, topography, right-of-way or other existing conditions make two ramps infeasible.
- Installation of curb ramps shall also be required on existing sidewalks whenever curbing is replaced.
- Proposed curb ramps at locations other than intersections must be approved by the director of streets prior to construction.
