The lack of a curbcut is on the S side of the corner the Gov Mansion is on.

As hazardous as it is for pedestrians in Raleigh, it must much more dangerous for anyone with mobility problems. Hopefully the problem will be corrected ASAP. Thanks.

This is a civil rights issue, not just a safety issue. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act established that sidewalks without curb cuts are discriminatory and cities have been required to install curb cuts since 1992 whenever there is a resurfacing of existing roads, which has not been done at this particular intersection since 1992.

We have a citywide program to retrofit all our intersections with ADA-compliant ramps. I will refer this to our Public Works Department to check where this one is scheduled for retrofit.
