All walking surfaces have a similar surface material and non-slip texture, with gentle grades and generous widths. Access to building entrances are easily recognizable and convenient from drop-off lanes and parking areas. In order to prevent all tripping hazards, we requested and received a waiver from the township ordinance for curbs. Much of the walking surface lighting was handled with low-level bollard lights that prevent glare and provide the appropriate level of illumination for safety. Parking was located comfortably close to the building entrances and, in fact, underground parking was provided for maximum safety and comfort of the residents.
