Sure enough, I don't think anyone, emergency or not, is going to be jumping those. If you want into the corridor, you better do it at the last full-movement intersection.
There were parts of Charles where it was something like an 10" curb to get into the ROW. Other parts were more like 6". The curb height was much more stable on the LRT side, being more like 4", which is quite jumpable.
Once the pavement is laid, though, I think the effective curb height will be maybe 4" less -- there is quite a lot of asphalt that will get laid down. So a 6" curb would turn into 2", and 10" into 6". The former may be intended as jumpable.
Purely my speculation, of course.
