The county did another onsite inspection last week (its the third one). The inspector said this bump is absurd.  As he said, they fixed the ADA ramp but caused a bigger problem with the bump than the ADA ramp was.  There is a huge change in grade between to sections of the sidewalk, several sections of the sidewalk tat are out of compliance because there is a larger height difference where that match than is allowed.  Plus, the grade change in the road is out of compliance on our big bump.  He is not in charge of this but works for the guy who is, and he asked him to have another look at it and see what they could do.  

He also said there is another situation similar to this over on Bethany near the QFC that had a big grade change at an ADA ramp and somehow, they fixed that, so it is not such a huge danger to people and cars.  He suggested we go take a look at that and when we talk to the county next to bring that up and ask why they can’t do something like that.
