Not Only Is There No Curb Cut For Pedestrians, The Elderly and Disabled...

Crossing Warren at 3rd Street.

Years ago at a council meeting, I asked DPW Superintendent Robert Perry why there were so many intersections in town lacking pedestrian curb cuts/ramps and if DPW had a plan to create more.  He responded that it was the property owner's responsibility to install them, not the city's responsibility.  The takeaway for me was that the city really doesn't care if intersections are lacking curb ramps for pedestrians since they aren't making property owners install them where they are lacking.

Blocking pedestrian access with a sidewalk sign is a code violation that the city has also given up on, forgotten about, or never enforced.  Portable Signs...shall not be located in sidewalk or driveway areas nor shall they obstruct traffic... (Chapter 244-35 of the City of Hudson Code)
