Background Summary:

The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all public facilities are readily accessible and usable by persons with disabilities and requires public agencies to prepare a plan for pursuing ADA compliance. The Public Works Department has prepared an ADA Transition Plan for facilities in the public right-of-way. The draft plan was posted for public comment and discussed with City Council in November 2019.

 

At this study session, staff will present an overview of the ADA Transition Plan and new policies proposed to be included in the plan that require adoption by City Council.

 

The plan documents policies, standards, and general processes that support reaching full compliance with ADA requirements for facilities in the public right-of-way. The Plan includes the following elements that will be presented and discussed:

 

  • Overview and Background
  • Self-Evaluation
  • Policies and Procedures

 

New policies proposed to be included in the ADA Transition Plan will be brought to City Council on 6/15/2020 for adoption via Resolution No. 5514. Subsequently, the ADA Transition Plan will be published and then updated periodically by staff.
