SUBJECT:2024/25 ACCESSIBILITY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This annual program combines sidewalk and pedestrian ramp improvements with additional
accessibility upgrades at traffic signals and other City-owned facilities. The program provides for
removing and replacing sidewalk intersection crosswalk panels and accessible ramps at locations that
fail to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for truncated dome warning
panels.
This program also includes retrofitting existing signalized traffic control devices with audible and
vibrotactile pushbuttons, as well as upgrading parking stalls to meet current accessibility standards at
any on-street location or in City-owned parking lots.
Where feasible, this program is combined with other roadway, traffic signal replacement, or shared use
path improvement projects for pedestrian ramp reconstruction. This project includes six different
locations, as shown in the attached location map.
Staff have been working with Bolton & Menk of Ames, Iowa, to develop plans and specifications for
the project. On May 7, 2025, bids for the project were received as follows:
