[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The issue with sidewalks is that there are some in flexible bureaucrats in the DC government to take a very restricted view of what is required for a sidewalk. They insist for example that new sidewalks should be 7 or 8 feet wide to allow 2 wheelchairs to pass easily. While this may make sense on K Street it is ridiculous on a side street in Forest Hills or Palisades. There three or 4th foot sidewalks makes sense. Environmental considerations such as preserving the tree canopy and permeable space are also important.[/quote] These "flexible bureaucrats" are right in this instance. You can't make space for three more feet?[/quote] It's the city's right of way/easement anyway. That's the other issue with UT, people building into the easement then complaining that DDOT will ruin their plantings. And they've won so far![/quote]
