Newton's sidewalk to nowhere

Wicked Local Newton photographs the oddest sidewalk you'll ever see (odder even than the marble sidewalk on Anawan Street in West Roxbury).

Those are standard in Maryland and Northern Virginia
They put the curb cuts in whenever they are replacing the curb, so they don't have to do it all over again when the property finally gets built out, the road gets paved, or whatever.
Looks like an ADA issue to me
I'm guessing there's a nice new sidewalk with handicap ramps across the street from the ramp pictured. When you put in a new sidewalk, you have to put in handicap ramp at the corner. But if there's no handicap ramp on the opposite corner, you have to put in one across the street, too. But apparently you don't need to build a sidewalk connected to the new handicap ramp....
Ive taken similar pictures
