Just realized the simple bus stop sign in my town of Troy made me rethink curb heights
I was standing at the new bus stop on Market Street in Troy two weeks ago and noticed the shelter pad sat about 2 inches above the sidewalk, so wheelchairs and strollers had to bump up onto it. The driver mentioned riders had been complaining for a month, and the fix was just a small asphalt ramp pour, like an hour of work. We cut the pad flush with the curb, added a 1 to 12 slope, and the next rider in a chair rolled right on without pausing. Now I check every stop plan for that same lip before it gets built. Has anyone else run into tiny curb steps at shelters that nobody caught in review?
