ADA Transition Plan:Curb Analysis <br /> In 2015,the City of South Bend—Public Works Department conducted a full-scale evaluation of all the <br /> curb ramps within the City limits to generate a priority ranking system. Each curb ramp was assigned a <br /> numerical value depending on the condition of the ramp, sidewalk approach, and crosswalk.These <br /> values are referenced in the City's ADA Transition Plan and are called Access Grades. Since 2015,the City <br /> has made a significant effort to focus on the pedestrians,especially when crossing roadways,with the <br /> introduction of Smart Streets. Curb ramps near Government Facilities have seen a change of 16%(23 <br /> intersections)from high priority to low priority. Table 1 indicates the changes for each intersection <br /> priority between 2015 and 2018. <br /> Intersection Priority <br /> 1 2 3 <br /> Locations serving <br /> Locations serving Commercial&Employment Locations serving Other <br /> Government Facilities Centers Areas <br /> 2015 2018 2015 2018 2015 2018 <br /> High 93 70 80 76 376 386 <br /> Medium 69 49 372 284 366 341 <br /> Low 106 149 413 471 1108 1158 <br /> Table 1:2015 and 2018 Curb Ramp Ratings <br /> Intersections <br /> 2015 2018 <br /> 1A 37 62 <br /> 1B 69 87 <br /> 1C 69 49 <br /> 1D 57 42 <br /> 1E 36 28 <br /> 2A 204 210 <br /> 2B 209 261 <br /> 2C 199 140 <br /> 2D 173 144 <br /> 2E 80 76 <br /> 3A 272 106 <br /> 3B 398 542 <br /> 3C 438 510 <br /> 3D 366 341 <br /> 3E 376 386 <br /> Total 2983 2984 <br /> Table 2:Access Grade Breakdown <br /> Attachment 1 <br />
