ADA Transition Plan
ADA Transition Plan
Project Overview
The ADA Transition Plan will:
- Identify the physical obstacles in the public agency’s facilities that limit the accessibility of its programs or activates to individuals with disabilities, including those within the public right of way.
- Describe in detail the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible.
- Specify the steps/schedule for each facility and/or obstacle to be upgraded to meet ADA (Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act) and Section 504 requirements (Rehabilitation Act of 1973).
- Identify the official responsible for implementation of the plan.
Survey/Inventory of Infrastructure/public facilities
The project will identify and inventory ADA-noncompliant barriers of buildings, sidewalks and pedestrian curb ramps within City limits. The WSDOT Pedestrian Ramp Inventory Forms will be utilized for each curb ramp and identify any portions that do not meet current ADA Standards.
Additionally, there will be a survey taken of exterior facilities including shared use paths within City Rights-of-Way and access to City parking lots and parks to identify ADA deficiencies. A review and analysis of existing building conditions with respect to ADA Standards. The buildings to be surveyed are:
- City Hall (13129 W. 13th)
- Park Maintenance Building (830 S. Lawson)
- Park Bathrooms (920 S. Lawson)
- Public Works Shop (12400 W. 21st)
- Water Reclamation Plant Lab/Ops (12405 W. 21st)
- Recreation Center (11405 W. Deno)

Meetings will be held throughout the month of June 2025.
