What does an ADA ramp need to pass in Lansing, KS?
A ramp in Lansing passes when the running slope holds at or under 1:12 max running slope, the cross slope under 1:48 max cross slope, the clear width stays at 36 inches or wider, and both ends carry a level landing — the 2010 ADA Standards, measured on the finished pour. Ramps on public sidewalks and street corners answer to PROWAG.
Lansing grew up in the 1980s through the 2000s, and its commercial ground shows its age. The Towne Center and the Main Street (K-7) strips have reached their structural limit, and the town has openly flagged the ADA gaps in the older Towne Center developments. That is the work here: bringing first-generation corners up to a standard that did not exist when they were poured.
The Towne Center's older corners and their ADA gaps
A curb ramp built into a 1990s shopping center was often built to a looser rule than the one an access review applies today — a curb ramp that runs past 1:12, a corner with no truncated-dome panel, or a landing that has settled out of level over three decades. Lansing’s own assessments name those gaps, which makes the fix straightforward to scope. We shoot the existing route with a level, flag only the corners that miss, and rebuild those to current slope and warning standards so the center reads compliant end to end. It is the same concrete repair and curb approach we bring to aging strips across the county.
River-corridor ground under a Lansing ramp
Lansing sits along the Missouri River corridor, and the commercial ground carries the silty alluvial soil and seasonal high water table that come with it. That ground compresses, and a landing poured on it decades ago can settle a half-inch out of level — enough to drop a corner out of compliance on its own, without anyone touching it. On a rebuild we compact the base back to grade and build to design-slope-below-max so the new ramp has room to ride the ground’s movement without slipping past the line. More on this soil is in our Kansas City soil guide, and the standard carries to ramps in Leavenworth and Basehor.
Detectable warnings, traction, and a Lansing winter
Every rebuilt corner gets a detectable warning set in the wet slab, where the steady workforce foot traffic from the correctional facility and the Fort Leavenworth side keeps the routes busy year-round. The pour is air-entrained 4,000 PSI concrete with a broom finish for grip, saw-cut joints to steer cracking, and drainage detailed so meltwater clears the grade break instead of freezing across the walk. Ford Concrete is licensed, certified, and insured, rated 4.9 on Google over 29 reviews for concrete work across the metro.

Getting ADA Ramps & Compliance right in Lansing
Shoot the existing route
We measure the Towne Center and Main Street corners with a level to find which ramps actually miss.
Lay out below the max
We stake running and cross slope under the limits so settling ground has room before a ramp drifts out.
Recompact the base
We cut out the settled ground and compact the river-corridor subgrade back to grade.
Form landings and grade breaks
We set level top and bottom landings and a clean transition at the gutter.
Pour and set warnings
We place air-entrained 4,000 PSI concrete and embed truncated-dome panels in the wet slab.
Verify as-built
We check finished slopes with a digital level and hand over numbers for the access file.

What sets Ford apart in Lansing
Aging corners brought current
We rebuild Lansing's older Towne Center ramps to today's slope and warning standards, not the looser rule they were built to.
Built below the max
We target a slope under 1:12 so settling river-corridor ground never pushes a rebuilt ramp out of tolerance.
Warnings set in wet concrete
Truncated-dome panels go in as the slab is poured so busy institutional routes cannot peel them loose.
Measured, not eyeballed
We verify the finished running and cross slope with a digital level before we call it done.
