Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

I call those skateboard ramps.
They are called curb cuts, which is a catchall turn for both these and the older ramps for driveways.
Any one of us could suddenly find ourselves needing this kind of access, and I'm always glad to see such infrastructure.
Wayne I suspect that real skateboarders prefer uncut curbs as offering more of a challenge.
Corey, as usual, thanks for the information. When I was preparing this post I unsuccessfully ransacked my brain and google too for the name of this sidewalk feature.
Elaine, I agree. I mostly view modern industrial society as uncaring and it gives me hope when I see features like this.
