    You’re the one that’s saying it doesn’t meet ada requirements, and I’m trying to explain that they quite literally do. And the context of the road doesn’t require larger sidewalks like other places, but 60”+ is no longer a sidewalk and follows different construction protocols.

    A 4” thick slab over 48” can’t support a vehicle for driveways where there is frost movement. So they only build them where needed or required since the city wholly pays the cost, and taxpayers get a say in how public money is spent in that regard.

    If you didn’t have your head so far up your ass thinking you’re correct, maybe you could learn something. And frost doesn’t just mean it gets below freezing, it quite literally means your ground is frozen for months at a time.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but someone correcting incorrect information doesn’t have their panties in a twist.

      Just to be clear, again.

      I have 60” sidewalks in front of my house, in a frost state.

      You and I both agree your 36” sidewalks are the Minimum requirement

      I’m not sure what you’re on about, your sidewalk is small which is why we all noticed

        It’s a bloody service sidewalk that leads to larger sidewalks. You’re the one that’s going off about needing passing lanes so yours are 60”. That’s…. Not…. A… thing… and I’ve asked you multiple times to provide the regulation and you haven’t.

        I’m sorry you think that things need to be overbuilt and waste taxpayer money. I’m sure if I looked at the state of your sidewalks compared to ours it would be stark difference in the quality and the longevity if they’re “all” that size.

        How large of a sidewalk do you think a road that only services 50 houses need? Traffic can’t pass through, it will only add distance to their route, same with pedestrians. If you’re assuming this is grid based where every road is through road…. Well… get your head out of your ass.

        The roads are designed to have minimal traffic after work and school so kids and people can be out and use the infrastructure. Can’t do that if a car passes by every minute getting somewhere else…. You’re not seriously trying to suggest THAT is better…?

          I assume you then chose to continue reading and saw you being wrong, which is why you immediately deleted it?

          Idk.

          I hope this was as thrilling for you as it was for me.

            Lmfao, no I realized that you’re still never going to understand that a sidewalk isn’t a walking surface and public property is different than residential sidewalks. It’s on someone’s property, but it’s the cities. It’s not the same bloody thing.

            As stated, your head is so far up your ass, you can’t even see you are talking about something totally different.

            Every comment I’ve asked about sidewalks, nothing you’ve stated has been about sidewalks.

            But it’s wonderful to see you care soo much to screen capture a deleted comment to try and use it against someone. Do you think bringing up a deleted comment is supposed to help you? It just makes you petty and look pathetic.

            I have a question, if someone installs an accessible ramp to their house, you’re saying it has to be 60” wide? That is not the case, it follows residential rules, not public.

            Enjoy arguing about stuff you don’t understand!

              It’s ok to misunderstand someone, doubling down over and over as you have is kind weird.

              You’re clearly not understanding the words written on screen, so again fuck right off. Take care

          No my dude I do not think it’s wasting taxpayers money to follow ADA guidelines.

          It’s 403.5 which is for official use on government property, the ADA (as you’ve claimed to be an expert on) is a tangled web of guidelines. Some are laws, some are best practices and recommendations. If I can untangle, during my pipeline builds, the web and find guidance for residential instead of what the government dictates for its employees I will. Until then most guidance you’ll find online still mirrors what I’ve said.

          My point again is that yes your sidewalk meets the minimum requirements. It’s a shame it isn’t built more to what is the norm, but yes again “bare minimum has been met” Neat!

          What I find hilarious is how hard in the paint you’re going for those sidewalks, THEY EXCEED INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS but somehow barely meet ADA requirements

          Here, you deleted your response:

          It’s 403.5 just in a subsection you opted not to read. Again, I never said your sidewalks weren’t compliant I called out that them being the BARE MINIMUM isn’t some ideal you’re touting about how nice they are.

          Anyways, fuck right off friend
