• Is the wheelchair ramp in good structural condition? Are there cracks or uplifts on the ramp that could make it difficult to maneuver a wheelchair?

The inspection will typically end at the wheelchair ramp for the next street. There are a few common exceptions to this rule, which are described below:

• Situation 1: The end of the sidewalk occurs at a “T” intersection (as shown in Figure 3.6f). In this case the sidewalk end point will be in line with the centerline of the intersecting street. Under the High Address Sidewalk Connection section (on the back of the inspection sheet), check the box corresponding to midblock. Note: the next section of sidewalk will start with a midblock situation under the Low Address Sidewalk Connection section.

• Situation 2: The sidewalk ends where it intersects with another sidewalk and doesn’t continue to the curb (as shown in Figure 3.6f). In the sidewalk connection section of the inspection sheet, where it asks if the connection with the road wheel chair is accessible, check no and note that the sidewalk ends at another sidewalk.

• Situation 3: The sidewalk ends suddenly or ends at a driveway and doesn’t continue to the end of the street segment (as shown in Figure 3.6f). In the sidewalk connection section of the inspection sheet where it asks if the connection with the road is wheel chair is accessible, check no and note where the sidewalk ends (the address or a defining structure).
