Hi all, I have a question about at-grade crossing in LEED ND V.4 Walkable Streets credit. Is it acceptable if our project provides curb ramps for level transitions at the crossing instead of making the crossing the same level as the sidewalk which is 15cm higher than the road level? Thank you.

Hi Nuttanee, "at grade" in this context just means on the same plane, i.e. driveway crossing sidewalk when they are both at ground level. Whether there's a curb ramp or it's totally level doesn't affect this requirement - just keep the length of those crossings under the 10% limit.
