12C-1: Check for ADA Compliance

Features to check for ADA compliance:

• Bike Trails
• Sidewalks and Curb Ramps
• Roadway Crossings
• Protruding Objects (near pedestrian routes)
• Bridges with Pedestrian access
• Signals and Signal Call Buttons
• Stairs
• Handrails
• Grates
• Parking Spaces
• Rail crossings
• Rest areas
• Bus Stops
• Bus and Train Stations
• Elevators and Lifts
• Doorways and Gates
• Furniture- Benches, tables, counters
• Trails

For those features not specifically addressed in this manual, contact the Design ADA Coordinator for assistance.

All the above features must also be compliant during construction.

While it is not the responsibility of designers to make ADA upgrades outside the project limits, it is recommended to correct adjacent ADA problems whenever a street, road, or highway is constructed or altered.  Doing so will prevent potential problems, improve accessibility, and eliminate the need to make upgrades later.

 

Attention Required

	There is no Design Exception process for ADA compliant features.
