I thought this was cool and wanted to share.

I’ve also complained about a local new shopping Center. I worked with my city and the Center’s developer to have curbcuts installed.

 Yes I can I noticed the cheap approach in the video curb ramps at 45 degree angles to the intersection. This is really bad and I face the same thing to access the cross walk wil take one into the path of moving traffiic oppsite the crossing being used. Think of it this way you have to swirve out into traffic going East to West with a green light to cross a street going North and South. Not to mention those taking a right hand turn this is what I face daily. 

 Thanks for sharing time to get out my video camera!

yeah having to go out into traffic because of a missing curbcut isn't good for anybody.

wheelchair users and drivers alike.
