Its for your retarded nigger baby's motorized scooter

>>513173279 (OP)
It prevents vehicles from ramping into your house. It's a corner lot.

>>513173279 (OP)
ADA; the ramp is for cripples and the bumps are for the blind.

>>513173734
I think the bumps are more to prevent people from slipping and suing everyone within a 100m actually.

>>513173279 (OP)
you're not allowed to have fun on your bike anymore jumping off curbs in your suburban hellscape

>>513173279 (OP)
Some retarded communist women, yea of course it was a women, create a problem to "create self value"

they skate-stopped it

>>513173279 (OP)
Did you have another tire blowout in your little chink car chink boy?

>>513174011
This. Or the ridges are for helping people in wheelchairs not roll down all rolly like.

>>513173940
Molon labe, you hoa shill.

>>513173915
No they are detectable warnings for the vision impaired first. Second would be fall prevention, but the plastic ones can be slippery with snow, wet.

My guess is they redesig it bc it was not compliant. The original too steep, no detectable warning and it aims people to the middle of the intersection. The detectable warning pads are supposed to be oriented so the domes line up in the direction of the other side of the street. Think of it like sights for go-tards.

>please explain

Correct. This is boomer forced changes to stop kids from having fun, of course they say it's for safety though. The new design really improves the safety by making sure any kid not paying attention or wearing a helmet cracks their skull open or smashes their face into the concrete, which is safety.

Okay explain replacing a straight sidewalk with one that curves.

>>513173279 (OP)
longitudinal bike flipper ledges. i though only toronto installed them.

>>513175178
Looks like an attempt at keeping some greenery and small trees. Check back in like 20 years when the roots turn the whole thing into a rollercoaster.

>>513173279 (OP)
Fat ass double wide burger wheelchairs didnt fit on the old ramps.

>>513174332
They installed a couple of these around the sidewalks at my building recently because a blind guy lives here, but when they installed them they just screwed them in right on top of the sidewalk instead of embedding them to be even, so they became a trip hazzard and multiple old ladies with walkers have face-planted after tripping on them now.

>>513175363
Even after making wavy they still managed to make it share sidewalk space with fire hydrants and some utility poles.

>>513175602
I can honestly only think of two things, and they may not even be the reason behind the design. First thought is the spacing of trees helps the wind blown naturally and by passing traffic to weave. Second is they do seem to gain more natural land back than the previous one. Wouldn't have wasted the money on it for this sort of outcome unless I was bound by a shitload of other regulations like these miserable bastards likely were.

>I don't like the look of that, let's fix it
>oh the goyvernment says we have to put plastic bumps here so fat blind retards don't roll their scooters into the street

>>513173915
It's for both, yes

>>513175413
File a DOJ report, the City will fix it quicker

>>513174332
Yeah I came here to say this

I’m currently on a $20m DOT job where the primary funding for the job was secured based on bringing the sidewalks up to ADA compliance

>>513175178
Holy shit do people really live like this? Shoving a twig around asphalt and pretending it's a tree? I literally live in the woods. I feel so sorry for these people.

>>513174332
The original didn't work because
>No flat landing (5'x5') at top of ramp
>No tactile warning

>>513173672
no
>>513173940
no

Accessible for baby strollers, wheelchairs, children's bicycles (adults should know enough to stay off the fucking sidewalk), and encourages people to cross in a straight line rather than diagonal wandering

hope that helps

>>513175834
The regulations are definitely why they still have to put hydrants and poles on it. Some junior architect or city councilman or developer thought they'd get cute with the design and then the guys actually building it followed municipal code to the letter.

>>513175178
Fuck boomers and their palm tree obsession.

>>513176097
The trees in the city should do a few things - protect pedestrians from vehicles, provide shade, and soften the urban hellscape. This does none of that.

>>513173279 (OP)
I could sech either for 2 hours straight on muh BMX bike. It'd be real gnarly if it switched up like that during my runs.

>>513173279 (OP)
This is called ‘we steal money while pretending to work’

>>513179326
this is the only correct answer ITT

if your ever see these "maintenance works" you will notice there are like 30 dudes doing it. all of them unionized and paid. it's hilarious

>>513173279 (OP)
Before it was really rigid and could fuck you up if you were on a bike, scooter, etc. The latter is much better.

>>513175178
Can't be straight in 2025 A.D. America

>urban planning
>filed under, "muh roads"
Sounds like some juice shit to me

>>513175178
It's actually cool, it makes space away from the road and the trees/lamps.

It's safer that way, with the old one you had to do a 90˚ angle to get into the sidewalk.
>>513173340
Not in particular, it looks like a white neighborhood.

>>513175178
i knew america hated straight people but this is ridiculous
why don't you paint the thing a rainbow that'd really tie it all together

>>513182448
They still manage to to put a fire hydrant in the middle of the sidewalk.

>>513182665
Damn. Oh well, nothing is perfect.

>>513175178
Curves are sexy

narrow sidewalk, anti-human design, cant enjoy the street, but i guess thats the way they want it
