Analysis:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that cities provide facilities and programs that are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Some of Huntington Beach’s street intersections and crossings require curb access ramps to comply with ADA requirements. Additionally, ADA requires that when a construction project occurs, the area within that project is updated to meet the current standards. This project consists of installing ADA compliant curb ramps predominately in Maintenance Zone 3, where the City’s annual pavement maintenance project has identified streets to overlay with new asphalt.
