or uniform in many places which is creating choke points where pedestrians are forced to move to the roadway or an unimproved surface in order to connect to their intended destination.

The cracked, broken, and irregular sidewalks, uneven walkways and walking surfaces and unsuitable ramps cause thousands of injuries every year in the United States. Most of the sidewalks do not have ADA compliant ramps and drive approaches. Most of the older sidewalks in the cities and towns have large cracks and/or are broken and are uneven. Having continuous and accessible sidewalks networks will improve safety and mobility for all pedestrians and are particularly important for pedestrians with disabilities.
