 ST>    I believe this depens on how steep the curb cut ramp is.  In some 
 ST> areas the sidewalks are higher above the road surface and the ramps 
 ST> steep.  But in other areas the sidewalks are worn down and resurfacing

 ST> the road has raised the road heigth so that the ramp is very gradual.

        There are strick specification for the incline of ramps
and curb cuts.  I believe it is 1 foot of raise for each 12 feet
of ramp.  Of course with todays approach to things the
responsible departments just slap it in with little regard for
specifications.
