I did. I have seen uglier ramps, but this one is not a thing of beauty.

The concrete construction bothers me a lot. That thing is going to be there for a long, long time. If it were wood, a carpenter, or even a homeowner could dismantle it in a day when the need was gone.

As someone said, the correct landscaping would go a long way toward hiding it, but landscaping is already in, and there is no attempt to hide it.

Just like the existing neighbors, I would ask if it had been permitted, and if there was any input from neighbors or town planners to mitigate the visual impact. I have no doubt that the ramp owner has the right to put in a ramp for his daughter, but I think that a feature like this should require a variance and a public review to minimize its impact on neighboring properties.
