Toward Universal Access: Americans with Disabilities Act Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Self-Evaluation Report for the City of Bellevue
Source: City of Bellevue Transportation Department
Pedestrian facilities are an essential part of the community infrastructure that individuals use to gain access to the goods, services, and social contacts that support their day-to-day existence and quality of life. People with disabilities are better able to participate in the community if sidewalks and curb ramps are accessible because it is easier for them to reach their desired destinations.
Toward Universal Access: Americans with Disabilities Act Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Self-Evaluation Report for the City of Bellevue pinpoints pedestrian facilities requiring additional assessment and potential modification to ensure that the City's public rights-of-way meet ADA standards. Bellevue Transportation Department staff created this report so that interested persons could review all of this information in a single, easy-to-read document. In addition, this report provides the foundation to the Department's ADA Transition Plan Update.
