Saw a curb cut in downtown Portland that changed how I design everything
I was walking to a showing in the Pearl District last spring and watched a mom with a stroller struggle to get over a 4 inch curb. Then I noticed a newer curb cut 20 feet away that someone had poured with a gentle slope and textured surface. She rolled right up it without even slowing down. That little moment made me rethink how I approach entryways in the homes I stage. We talk about contrast and font sizes but what about the physical path someone takes to get through a door? Has anyone else had a random street observation change their whole approach?

That mom with the stroller is exactly why I always check curb heights now before I plan a staging layout. Did you end up measuring the angle on that textured slope to see what made it work so well?
