ANNUAL ADA ACCESSIBILITY

DESCRIPTION:

This project will continue efforts to improve ADA accessible at public facilities
throughout the city. This would include ramps at various intersections throughout the city, correct locations on existing sidewalk that have inadequate access for wheel chair facilities, ADA complaint pedestrian push buttons at our street intersections and also improve accessibility by replacing pedestrian connector paths that are uplifted, cracked, and otherwise out of compliance with current ADA requirements. Work will be based on prioritization list developed by the City’s Bicycle/Pedestrian Committee. Efforts will be directed towards improving accessibility at locations most directly utilized by disabled individuals, with an emphasis on improving pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular safety.

COST SUMMARY:

ALTERNATIVES:
An alternative would be to postpone the project to a future year. However, public
agencies are required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to continue to make progress in meeting the needs of disabled residents.
