I fully agree with Steven Toth's concerns about the modified standard sidewalk design and its shortcomings from a pedestrian point of view. As a stroke affected individual acutely aware of the cant of walking surfaces, it seems to me that a sidewalk design should serve the pedestrian public, not the needs of car owners. The older design worked - why change it? I routinely step into the road (where possible) to walk around the areas where the modified standard has been used, and during times if the year when the sidewalk is is obscured the modified design is just plain dangerous - not just to people like me and other disabled or elderly persons, but to EVERYBODY.
