Michael, Both options sound good and I passed this on to Axis who will be performing the sidewalk work. We will not include the guy wires in our sidewalk and will cut the slab to pour our sidewalk full width.

My preference on the At&t box would be to cut the slab back to make enough room for our proposed sidewalk. If this can't be done we might want to create a short transition to the east of the pad to work around it. As long as we maintain a 3 foot width we should be fine by ADA.
