Why?
Do you know what this sloped sidewalk needs? That’s right, a staircase on the side. And that’s exactly what we see here. While the stairs themselves don’t look half-bad, the fact that the top-most step is uneven is driving us absolutely bonkers.
And to compound the trouble, the street under the bottom-most step is also at an angle. This is a tripping hazard to anyone who ascends or descends the four steps to the adjacent platform. Why oh why did someone think it would be a good idea to do this? But let’s just be glad that they included cautions signs all over the place.
