This is from an accessibility standpoint. I needed to go around by two blocks across terrifying terrain to access the site. The sidewalk to access looked too narrow (it was) for my motorized wheelchair to pass… so.. I turned around to access the site on the street with cars. At the end of that block I did find a ramp.
