It cost about $400 per ramp to install these. It cost's quite a bit more than that to install those. The entire corner of the sidewalk at the intersection has to be demolished and a new one installed. You couldn't even get the old concrete jackhammered out for that.

I recall Philly having a big issue with the ADA over this about 10-12 years ago.
