complaint from a resident of an apartment complex
Op 27 mei j.l. verzocht ik u mevrouw XXXXX te benaderen i.v.m. olieoverlast veroorzaakt door haar auto. Helaas kreeg ik vanmiddag een telefoontje van de voorzitter van de V.v.E. dat medebewoners geklaagd hebben over voortdurende olievervuiling.Bij het uit- en inrijden laat mevrouw XXXXXX zelfs oliesporen na op de op-en afrit, hetgeen niet langer gedoogd kan worden.
Explanation: It is an underground parking for all the apartments and the entry/exit has a slope. I am trying to find one word for that instead of having to explain it.

ramp
if it's a downward slope to the garage (and basically the same one is used to drive back up from the garage), ramp might be ok.
Driveway is another option, but driveways conjure up a picture of a road leading to an above-ground garage, not an underground parking. But it is usable, if only slightly.
Dico defintion:
Ramp:
An inclined surface or roadway that moves traffic from one level to another

slope
Van Dale geeft voor op-en afritten slopes. Dus 1 op-en afrit zou dan slope moeten zijn.

Remove the existing curb ramp across the driveway from the westerly two accessible parking spaces and construct a new compliant curb cut ramp with a truncated dome finish and compliant detectable border.Remove the two existing curb ramps crossing the employee-parking driveway (near the ATM) and construct two compliant curb ramps.
