Raised Crosswalk

My co-worker was asked to put together a standard drawing of a raised crosswalk. There is a place in town where a more visible crosswalk is desired so he was tasked with coming up with the standard drawing for it. In addition to the standard cad drawing of the detail he drafted a sketchup version. As you can see in the images below, it is much easier to see what is proposed in the 3d drawings.

 


Please let us know what you think about this and if there are any aspects of the drawing that you would like to have further explanation.

Why the curb cut on the two sides of the street. Doesn't it seem more cost effect to have the path raise across the entire street at curb height. I know there is a concern of water runoff, but that can be handled with a metal pathway.
