Home My WebLink AboutLID 50 Council Presentationz LID Street Reconstruction z ISSUES Cost to residents Cost to City (Street Funds) Sidewalk compliance Curb not up to specs City right of way is narrow Poor drainage Parking z FEDERAL ADA REQUIREMENTS A “path of travel” includes a continuous, unobstructed way of pedestrian passage by means of which the altered area may be approached, entered, and exited, and which connects the altered area with an exterior approach (including sidewalks, streets, and parking areas), an entrance to the facility, and other parts of the facility. The ADA requires every path of travel in or around a facility, including streets, sidewalks, and curb ramps, to be accessible. Still applicable in 2019, the standards apply to state and local government facilities, commercial establishments, and public accommodations. Any building or project started on or after March 15, 2012 is required to use the 2010 Standards. z FEDERAL ADA REQUIREMENTS The minimum continuous and unobstructed clear width of a pedestrian access route shall be 4.0 ft (1.2 m), exclusive of the width of the curb. There are exceptions:sidewalk width may be reduced to meet site constraints; however,ADA requires a minimum width of 4 ft. to be provided in all cases (PROWAG R301. 3.1). If sidewalks are less than 60 inches (5 feet) wide, passing spaces must be constructed every 200 feet. These passing spaces (which could be a driveway or wider section of concrete) need to be at least 60 inches on all sides. An ADA sidewalk ramp cannot have a cross slope (distance from the bottom edge of a level to the surface) of more than ½ inch. Where feasible an ADA sidewalk cannot have slope steeper than 1:12, meaning for every inch of height change, there are at least 12 inches of route run. z If reconstruction is completed on any existing, street, gutter, curb, or sidewalk then they are required to be finished meeting ADA regulations. 35.151 New construction and alterations. (b) Alteration. Each facility or part of a facility altered by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity in a manner that affects or could affect the usability of the facility or part of the facility shall, to the maximum extent feasible, be altered in such manner that the altered portion of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the alteration was commenced after January 26, 1992. Since alterations under the ADA are required to meet new construction criteria to the maximum extent feasible, extensive reconstruction work can and should approach the accessibility required of new construction. For example, a project that calls for the removal of pavement and sidewalks to subgrade, followed by the installation of new walks and pavement, is an alteration whose broad scope offers significant opportunity to incorporate the full range of accessible features. On the other hand, the installation of a single curb ramp at an existing intersection is an alteration with limited scope for correcting adjacent inaccessible conditions.
