Analysis:
This year’s paving program seeks to repair the concrete in Zone 5 which is downtown. With the zone program the City will repair broken sidewalks, and curbs and add curb access ramps. In addition to being good practice this is a requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Many of our street intersections and crossings have not had curb access ramps added to comply with ADA requirements.
