At the eastern end of Shadowood near the fence which separates the Bryant neighborhood from the University Townhouses Cooperative propery, it appear the sidewalk is partially or fully blocked on both the north and south sides of the street.
On the north side of the street, the fence appears to have been built straight across the sidewalk without any opening. On the south side of the street, there appears to be a standard opening in the fence, but there also appear to be several barriers embedded in the concrete in this opening in the fence.
These barriers are spaced tightly enough that, though a thin pedestrian could slip through, any person with a big waist, is on a bicycle, scooter or in a wheelchair cannot get through. (See photo.)
Are these obstructions (blockage on north side and barriers on south side) legal? They certainly render the sidewalks largely unusable as...well, sidewalks.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for looking into this. I'm curious as to whether this sidewalk (whether public or private) is required to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
(1) The "City of Ann Arbor" stamp in the concrete suggests that it is a public sidewalk; would this stamp be on a private sidewalk?
(2) Even if private, I would hope that this sidewalk would allow for individuals with mobility issues, those with a larger waist, and/or people with a hand-cart (e.g. for groceries) or on a bicycle.
(The "No Trespassing" sign is a concern, but not sure if there is anything which would prohibit such signage.)
Thanks again for your time/work.
