CURB RAMP NOTES:

1. PROVIDE SLIP RESISTANT TEXTURE ON CURB RAMP BY COARSE BROOMING TRANSVERSE TO THE SLOPE OF THE

RAMP. EXTEND TEXTURE THE FULL WIDTH AND LENGTH OF THE CURB RAMP INCLUDING FLARED SIDE RAMPS.

2. TO AVOID CHASING GRADE INDEFINITELY WHEN TRAVERSING THE HEIGHT OF THE CURB, RAMP LENGTH NOT TO

EXCEED 15'-0". ADJUST RAMP SLOPE AS NEEDED TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT FEASIBLE.

3. ALIGN DETECTABLE WARNING SURFACE TRUNCATED DOMES ON A SQUARE GRID IN THE PREDOMINANT

DIRECTION OF TRAVEL.

4. PROVIDE DETECTABLE WARNING SURFACES 24" MINIMUM (IN THE DIRECTION OF PEDESTRIAN TRAVEL) ACROSS

FULL WIDTH OF RAMP AT THE GRADE BREAK NEAR STREET EDGE.

5. FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, DO NOT EXCEED 2.00% CROSS SLOPE ON THE CURB RAMP OR ACCESSIBLE ROUTE.

6. ALL SLOPES ARE MEASURED WITH RESPECT TO A LEVEL PLANE. THEREFORE, THE LENGTH OF RAMP IS NOT

SOLELY DEPENDANT ON THE HEIGHT OF THE CURB. FOR EXAMPLE, A 6" CURB DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN A

RAMP LENGTH OF 6'-0' FOR A 1:12 SLOPE.

7. SIDE FLARES 10.00% MAX SLOPE.

8. CURB RAMPS REQUIRE A 5'-0" MINIMUM LANDING WITH A MAXIMUM CROSS SLOPE AND LONGITUDINAL SLOPE OF

2.00% WHERE PEDESTRIANS PERFORMING TURNING MANEUVERS.

9. CONSTRUCT DEPRESSED CURB SLOPE TO MATCH ROADWAY PROFILE AND HAVE A FLUSH CONNECTION.

10. IF TRANSITION BLOCK IS LESS THAN 5% SLOPE, CONTRACTOR TO TRANSITION LANDING TO EXISTING SIDEWALK

CONDITIONS ONLY.

11. SECONDARY LANDING SHALL BE 5'-0"X5'-0" MINIMUM WITH 2.0% MAXIMUM CROSS-SLOPE IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

SECONDARY LANDING SHALL TIE INTO EXISTING SIDEWALK CONDITIONS WITHOUT RESTRICTION. IF LANDING CANNOT BE TIED IN TO EXISTING SIDEWALK DUE TO SLOPE, THEN CONTRACTOR SHALL CONSTRUCT A "WARPED"

SECTION TO CONNECT EXISTING SIDEWALK CONDITIONS TO SECONDARY LANDING.
