I read your message concerning sidewalks, curbcuts, etc. In Kansas City, 
Missouri South there is a busy intersection of a main street that indeed 
has two curbcuts.....one as you reach the alley and one to help getting 
back on the sidewalk in front of you. However those are the only 
curbcuts. Not one at either corner, consequently if you are by yourself 
in a wheelchair and cannot negotiate curbs, it would be necessary for you 
to into the street a half block before you get to a curbcut. Of course 
once you're on the sidewalk again, to get off you'd have to go back to 
the alley...Gene
