Why are the curb ramps being done in batches?

Not all intersections or curb locations are the same, some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility access points, sloping ground, signs, poles, additional land requirements or need to move property accesses. These are things we take into account when scheduling the construction of the ramps in each city.

The construction-ready locations are done first because they can be done immediately while those needing additional coordination or design will be part of a future batch or stage of construction. This is why at an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times.
