What does an ADA ramp have to clear in Eudora, KS?
A ramp in Eudora clears when the running slope holds at or under 1:12 max running slope, the cross slope stays under 1:48 max cross slope, the walking width keeps 36 inches, and level landings sit at the top and bottom — the 2010 ADA Standards, checked on the poured slab. Curb ramps in the public right-of-way follow PROWAG.
Eudora sits on K-10 between Lawrence and Kansas City, and it is turning from a bedroom town into a commercial one. That means a lot of the accessible concrete here is first-generation — new lots, new entrances, corners that have never had a compliant ramp before. Getting them right the first time keeps them from coming back as a retrofit.
First commercial ramps on the road between two cities
The K-10 Retail Corridor and the Church Street business district are where Eudora's commercial growth lands, and every new storefront that fronts a parking lot needs an accessible route from the stall to the door. We set each curb ramp to design-slope-below-max so a fresh ramp has room to move before it ever drifts out of tolerance. It is the same range we bring as a general-contractor partner and on curb and gutter work, whether the corner sits in Eudora or on a job in Lawrence or De Soto.
River-drainage ground under the business park
Eudora's low ground runs toward the Kaw and Wakarusa rivers, and the soil near the Intech Business Park is silty river-drainage alluvium that holds a high water table. That matters because a landing compacted over wet, soft ground can settle after the pour and pull a ramp out of level. We compact the subgrade to the right moisture, build the base to carry the load, and pitch the grade so water leaves the grade break instead of pooling under it. Our soil guide covers how this ground behaves, and drainage detailing is part of the ramp, not an add-on.
Detectable warnings, grip, and a Douglas County winter
Along the K-10 nodes and through Old Town Eudora, any corner where a walk meets a street or a drive aisle carries a detectable warning pressed into the wet slab. The mix is air-entrained 4,000 PSI, floated and broomed for footing, its joints saw-cut near 10 feet so cracks follow the line we choose, and its drainage pitched so a Douglas County thaw runs off the transition rather than icing on it. A run that drops away at the side gets edge protection to keep a wheel from leaving the path. Ford Concrete is licensed, certified, and insured, and rated 4.9 on Google across 29 reviews.

Eudora ADA Ramps & Compliance, done to spec
Read the corners
We shoot the lot corners and entrances with a level to see which ones fall short.
Lay out below the max
We stake running and cross slope under the limits so settlement has room before a ramp drifts out.
Build up the base
We compact the river-drainage subgrade to the right moisture and slope the grade to shed water.
Form and set warnings
We form the ramp and landings and embed detectable-warning panels in the wet slab.
Pour and finish
We place 4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete, broom it for grip, and saw-cut joints to control cracking.
Verify as-built
We measure running and cross slope on the cured ramp and document that it holds under the maximums.

The Ford difference on Eudora ADA Ramps & Compliance
Right the first time
Eudora's new commercial corners get poured below the slope maximum from the start, so they don't become retrofits.
River ground handled below
We compact to the right moisture and pitch drainage away so soft alluvium never settles a landing out of level.
Warnings set in wet concrete
Truncated-dome panels are embedded as the slab is poured, not glued on to lift under weather and traffic.
Checked with a level
We measure running and cross slope on the finished ramp before we call it done.
