Descrizione
The city came and removed the ramp at the end of the greenway at Ashe Ave I understand it may be meant to stop eastbound users from running into traffic But it neglects the user case for westbound cyclists/one Wheel/etc users who are following the sharrow on Ashe southbound The sidewalk is too narrow for traffic in two directions so I often take the road then enter the path where the ramp has been removed Now I have to ride on Western Blvd and get on the path by riding across the grass

Good Morning,
The referenced ramps at this location were removed by NCDOT as part of the resurfacing project on Western Blvd.
As part of any street resurfacing or alteration, the public right of way access guidelines state that pedestrian facilities must be updated to meet the current condition for the safe movement of pedestrians. Since there are no receiving ramps or pedestrian infrastructure to safely cross Ashe Ave or Western Blvd at this time, the existing ramp at this location was correctly removed in favor of pedestrians following the established greenway along Ashe Ave and utilizing the marked crossing further to the north closer to Pullen Park.
We will continue to explore solutions to provide additional width in this area, along with any greenway improvements.
Respectfully,
Ben Griffin
