I had never thought about sidewalk design until I read this article. Both my son and I have fallen on Herkimer on one of these ramps. It is the worst in early spring when snow melts during the day and the resulting water is frozen smooth each morning just in time for kids and parents going to school. I can't see why the driveway ramp couldn't extend out into the road as no one would be parking in front of a driveway anyway. Also, the plows never plow right up against the sidewalk. They are always at least 6 feet out due to all of the on street parking. Personally I think Herkimer should be narrowed. The sidewalks could be 50% wider.
