In recent weeks workers have been replacing curbs/upgrading pedestrian ramps on corners from Avenue A to Avenue D.
Several residents have questioned the quality of the work.
A reader shared these images from Avenue B...
Per the reader: "They failed to seal or finish the concrete, which will fill up with water and crack as soon as we get a freeze this winter."
Another reader has a few questions, such as, Is the work actually finished?
ALL of them are terribly constructed. [This is] the one on Avenue B and 10th Street, southwest corner.
You'll notice that the new ramp is not flush with the street, so the gap was filled in with some sloppily placed extra concrete. This is at every new curb ramp, and most of them are worse than the one pictured here. I imagine many of these will have pooling when it storms.
Is this a case of a sloppy contractor who does bad work without repercussion? Or did the contractor do it properly per spec and these streets are going to get milled and repaved soon and will then be flush to the ramp?

No word at the moment if crews will be returning to smooth out those ramps ... or if this is it.
