Public Right-of-Way (ROW) ADA Transition Plan 2021 Outreach
An online open house was held throughout the month of March 2021 in order to gather public comment that was incorporated into the 2021 Public ROW ADA Transition Plan. We will continue to take feedback on our pedestrian facilities on the Pedestrian facilities in the public ROW page.
About the Public ROW ADA Transition Plan
A Public ROW ADA Transition Plan is intended to provide a framework for the continuous improvement of pedestrian facilities (such as sidewalks, paths, curb ramps, pedestrian signals/push buttons) within the city ROW to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities.
