Poor Quality of Work on Downtown Improvements

[DetroitPlanner]

You mean you can thank the city for not doing it right in the first place. Anything put in within the last several years should have been done that way in the first place.

ADA lawsuits have cost municipalities hundreds of millions of dollars over the last few years. The law was written by congress but the courts have made previous requirements more stringent as cases have been lost over the last several years. In many cases the Cities had ignored the disabled populations. Detroit was a leader in sidewalk ramps. Detroit however has been putting in sidewalk ramps since the 1970's, well before the law was passed or the lawsuits that made them more stringent. At issue here is minute slope differences.
