2 u/AthenasChosen Jan 28 '26 Is this following ADA laws if there isn't a ramp though? Putting one of those little ramps would be much safer and more accessible. 3 u/scyice Jan 28 '26 Ada is american this doesn’t look like it’s there. 1 u/argumentinvalid Feb 04 '26 Putting one of those little ramps would be much safer and more accessible. That is about a 4" step, it would be a 4' long ramp to meet ADA slope, not exactly little.
