Appendix C – Agency ADA Design Standards and Procedures
Design Procedures
Sidewalks / Trails Sidewalks and trails will attempt to be constructed or upgraded to achieve compliance within all capital improvement projects. There may be limitations which make it technically infeasible for segments of sidewalks or trails to achieve full accessibility within the scope of any project. Those limitations will be noted, and those segments will remain on the transition plan. As future projects or opportunities arise, those segments shall continue to be incorporated into future work. Regardless on if full compliance can be achieved or not, every sidewalk or trail shall be made as compliant as possible in accordance with the judgment of the City.
Other Policies, Practices and Programs Policies, practices and programs not identified in this document will follow the applicable ADA standards.
