AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT TRANSITION PLAN: <br /> PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY <br /> r ecorded into an intersection database'. The result from this evaluation is a detailed <br /> understanding of the ADA barriers at that intersection. <br /> METHODS T® REMOVING BARRIERS-- POLICIES & PRIORITIES <br /> The City utilizes many different approaches in removing barriers in the public right-of-way, <br /> including proactively identifying and eliminating the barrier, responding to public <br /> complaints, and ensuring the appropriate design and build-out of new construction <br /> following the most recent design guidelines. <br /> BARRiM REMOVAL PRIORITIES <br /> The City of South Bend bases barrier removal priorities on two factors: location and the <br /> accessibility condition of the intersection.. <br /> Location Priority <br /> According to the Accessible Rights-of-Way: A Design Guide, "the DOI regulation <br /> imposes a specific construction requirement...specifies a priority for locating (curb <br /> ramps) at:State and local government offices and facilities;transportation;places of <br /> public accommodation; places of employment; and other locations." Following this <br /> guidance,the City identified its location priority as follows: <br /> 1. Intersections serving government facilities, <br /> 2. Intersections serving commercial and employment centers,and <br /> 3. Intersections serving other areas. <br /> Accessibility Condition <br /> Using the data from the Preliminary Evaluation and the Detailed Evaluation, an <br /> accessibility condition, or Access Grade, can be determined, Points are assigned to <br /> the identified ADA barriers and calculated for each intersection. This will give the <br /> intersection an overall Condition Score for accessibility. The Access Grade assesses <br /> the Condition Score out of the total possible points and assigns a letter grade. This <br /> letter grade is A through E, A being the most accessible and E being the least <br /> accessible. <br /> 1 The database is quite large and is constantly updated; it is not feasible for it to be included in the <br /> text of this ADA Transition Plan. The database may be made available for Public review by advanced <br /> written request to the ADA Coordinator. <br /> City of South Bend I Methods to Removing Barriers-Policies&Priorities <br />
