AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT TRANSITION PLAN. <br /> I PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY <br /> reasonable ADA complaints in an informal,mutually satisfactory manner. All complaints or <br /> requests will be kept on file and will include the response. Attachment C is a copy of the <br /> City's public Grievance Procedure for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way. <br /> NEW CONSTRUCTION�a' ALTERATIONS <br /> In order to ensure the correct design of curb ramps, sidewalks, and crosswalks in new <br /> construction and alterations, the City has adopted the Accessibility Guidelines far Pedestrian <br /> Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (see Attachment C for a copy of the resolution). <br /> Whenever there is an intersection improvement project or new construction project, any <br /> affected curb ramps, sidewalks, and crosswalks will be rebuilt to these ADA design <br /> guidelines,where feasible and reasonable. <br /> SCHEDULE <br /> As opportunity allows, the City will make efforts to improve the ADA Accessibility of <br /> pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way. As stated in the Accessibility Guidelines for <br /> Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way, "compliance is required to the extent <br /> practicable within the scope of the project." There will be times when is it technically <br /> infeasible to provide technical compliance. for example,if clear space at the top of the ramp <br /> is obstructed by a building or the slope of a hill is so extreme as to prevent a reasonable <br /> slope for a ramp in both directions. The inventory process may not account for such <br /> situations and could show a high-priority rating when all feasible actions have been taken. <br /> Additionally, given a program as broad and comprehensive as the City's pedestrian <br /> network, the City will follow the concept of Program Access under Title 11 of the ADA. <br /> Program Access does not necessarily require a public entity to mare each of its existing <br /> facilities accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities,as long as the program as a <br /> whole is accessible. Under this concept, the City may choose not to install a sidewalk at <br /> some locations (or to install them as a lower priority later), as long as a reasonable path of <br /> travel is available even without the sidewalk. <br /> RESPONSIBLE, INDIVIDUAL. <br /> The official responsible for the implementation of the City's ADA Transition Plan for the <br /> pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way is: <br /> Aladean Depose Email: aderose @southbendin.gov <br /> City Attorney,A.l.
