While a crosswalk itself is roadway paint and markings rather than sidewalk concrete, its placement is directly tied to corner treatment, since curb ramps and detectable warning surfaces must line up with where pedestrians actually cross to satisfy ADA accessible route requirements. A corner sidewalk repair sometimes needs to account for crosswalk alignment, particularly if a ramp is being reconstructed as part of the job. Property owners generally aren't responsible for the crosswalk paint itself, but the adjoining curb ramp usually falls within their sidewalk repair obligation.
