Sidewalk Ramps
Sidewalks should slope to pavement level where drawn in site plan, curbs to be modified appropriately. The ramps are not always obvious in site plan drawings, but if the sidewalk appears to lead into a crosswalk, or it is obvious that pedestrian traffic would flow off the sidewalk, most likely we will need a ramp.
No Jungles
Avoid overly dense planting with plants/trees that are too large. The result looks like a “jungle” and is unattractive.
