I wouldn't count on local ambulances being able to hop curbs like the region keeps claiming they can for LRT infrastructure. It's fairly common for ambulance purchase contracts to specify ground clearance that would meet this requirement, but that doesn't seem to be the case for at least some of the region's fleet. A paramedic in the Facebook group measured his rig for me and discovered the exhaust was too low to safely clear most curbs.
