The ramp is not properly aligned with either marked crosswalk. Wheelchair user would have to move into Campbell Avenue, then go around corner to access painted crosswalk across Fort Avenue.

Presence of retaining wall and narrow sidewalk space may have been a factor in this ramp placement.

Considering that city will probably not make any small fixes here, as this is an intersection to be redesigned and rebuilt in 2024 according to Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)

Issue still exists. Passing because planned reconstruction will almost certainly improve ramps.

Intersection rebuild is no longer in CIP, but should be rebuilt in 2027 or so per hanging streetlamp replacement program according to communication with Public Works a while back.
