Accessible sidewalks that meet the width requirements and provide curb ramps are present along Rosemead Boulevard, but they are missing along some stretches of the roadway, especially between the Rio Hondo River Trail and Garvey Avenue.

The sidewalks along Rosemead Boulevard are consistently interrupted by driveway curb cuts. Many of the driveway curb cuts are in poor condition and blend into sidewalk space, making it hard for road users to tell apart the spaces for people walking and driving.

The east and west sides of Rosemead Boulevard have different sidewalk conditions that impact accessibility. The sidewalk on the east side (pictured above, on the left) is narrow and has no buffer from the road. Utility poles can make the walkway even narrower. 

Curb ramps exist at all intersections, but most of them do not have warning mats. Additionally, the curbs ramps at the Rosemead Boulevard intersections of Garvey Avenue and Rush Street (pictured above, on the right) are diagonal rather than aligned with the existing crosswalks. These are permitted by ADA standards, but diagonal curb ramps can be dangerous for people who use wheelchairs or who are pushing a baby stroller. This type of curb ramp would require that such people move onto the street diagonally, towards traffic, then turn in the direction they need to go.
