It's like when streets are repaved and restriped someone say hey did x block just get repaved and looks good? Ok good send out the boys to dig up the corners and fix it we could have did it before they came but its better after.
No coordination at all in this city.
It's like putting a skyscraper up first and getting to the 50th floor and then going back down into the basement and connecting the water pipes and sewage lines.  |
This the the contractor's means and methods and to get the slope properly you need a final elevation of the street to be in place. It is done that way for a reason and if you look around you will see properly done curb ramps all over where there is a nearly seamless transition from the area patched near the ramp and the road surface. BEfore you pave a street you have to mill the entire top level surface or wearing course, you could never install a curb ramp in its entirety BEFORE you mill the road surface, you would end up removing all asphalt right up to the curb line and then have to redo that section to ensure proper slope and transition between the edge of the concrete and new pavement.
