Not only are these medians/pork chops encountered at the beginning or end of a sidewalk segment, but they may also be present at any point within the sidewalk segment. Some examples of where this situation may occur are: at turn around loops on Huron Church Rd, or at a private driveway or entrance to a shopping plaza. Unlike the previous example (where they are present at the beginning or end of the segment), these will be included in the length of the sidewalk. Furthermore, the portion of road or driveway within the segment will also be inspected. The width of the sidewalk will be maintained through the portion of road or driveway and that is the section that is to be inspected. The observations that are noted in this road or driveway portion can be recorded in the comments section on the back of the inspection sheet, even if it is a different material then the rest of the sidewalk. Wheel chair ramp information on the median is also recorded in the Additional Midblock Sidewalk Connections table in the comments section.
