Thank you for reporting your concern to the City of Medford via SeeClickFix. The City is aware of the long list of accessible ramps that are deficient (per the engineering report by Stantec evaluating ramps). These types of repairs are directly tied to the requests for sidewalk maintenance funds in the Capital Plan.
This particular ramp is in an area that is also on a Complete Streets list of priority improvements. The City is actively exploring other funding sources to address this issue. Unfortunately, one alt. source that seemed promising is not available this year.
We will continue to try to creatively use different funding sources to address needs as soon as practice, including if we are able to capture this ramp (and others) under another project.
Thanks again!
