What's going on, I wondered.
In my neighborhood, several curbs have had these signs painted near them during May.
Here's another one of them. There are also arrows on both sides pointing to the "ADA" spray painted on the curb.
I had thought "ADA" referred to the Americans with Disabilities act, which requires curb cuts that a wheelchair or other disabled user can use when crossing a street and accessing the sidewalk on the other side. It isn't just for wheelchair users, though. I sure appreciated these when my son was young and I was wheeling him through the neighborhood in a stroller.
But these curbs already have curb cuts. However they are many years old, I think. Laws change.
This Reddit may help me solve the mystery.
So apparently there is going to be some kind of construction but I don't know what yet.

It seems to be a case of 'Watch this space.' Great, sharp shadows, though.
ReplyDelete...TRUMP will chop ADA!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking the same thing!
DeleteI’m sure it will be interesting
ReplyDeleteRight after my knee replacement surgery when I was doing my walking with my walker I sure appreciated the curb cuts.
ReplyDeleteWe recently had some of our curb cuts redone, I thought maybe the requirements changed?
ReplyDeleteA mystery to be solved later, it seems.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think they'd have more explicit instructions rather than "ADA". Arrows or something. But whatever.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how those small markings hint at layers of evolving accessibility standards
ReplyDeleteI would assume it was accessibility based on the initials. Maybe new ramps and curbs?
