Why is Public Works developing the Public Right-of-Way ADA Transition Plan?

Everett Public Works developed a Public Right-of-Way ADA Transition Plan to address the requirements of Title II of the ADA that apply to pedestrian facilities. The transition plan is required to maintain Everett’s eligibility for federal funding. The plan specifies the steps that Public Works will take to address accessibility barriers within Everett’s right of way. The plan is meant to be a living document that will be updated annually as we complete projects, identify new projects and as we get public feedback. This process involves multiple work groups and funding sources and will continue to be a priority for Public Works.
