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 included six different locations,
as shown in the attached location map.
