SUBJECT: Erindale Park Self-Evaluation
1. On 12/16/2021, Title II ADA / Section 504 Coordinator(s) from the Office of Accessibility performed a Title II - Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation. This evaluation was performed in accordance with 1991/2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
2. Priorities for removing barriers are assigned in accordance with the ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities, promulgated by the ADA National Network. The checklist follows the four priorities listed in the Department of Justice ADA Title III regulations. These priorities are equally applicable to state and local government facilities:
Priority 1 - Accessible approach and entrance
Priority 2 - Access to goods and services
Priority 3 - Access to public toilet rooms
Priority 4 - Access to other items such as water fountains and public telephones
3. Corrective actions to findings were / will be submitted to the City maintenance work request system and will be managed in accordance with the City Transition Plan. Note: Recommended corrections may be modified where appropriate. Corrections are developed in consideration of the “Program Access” provisions of Title II, where applicable.
4. A copy of this report will be maintained by the Office of Accessibility. Updates to the findings included in this report will be available at the following link: https://access6.bluedag.com/access/barriers/GfhHF91nlvMItTaD4rVzj85XBKNZxywJ.

The allowance for vertical surface discontinuities is for occasional expansion joints and objects such as utility covers, vault frames, and gratings that cannot be located in another portion of the sidewalk outside the pedestrian access route. However, objects such as utility covers, vault frames, and gratings should not be located on curb ramp runs, blended transitions, turning spaces, or gutter areas within the pedestrian access route. This may not always be possible in alterations, but should be avoided wherever possible. Vertical surface discontinuities between unit pavers should be minimized.

From the turn to the basketball court up to the turn to the first playground there are 14 pads of concrete with excessive cross slope and/or running slope. Cross slope ranges from 2.3% to 7.9% on eight pads while running slope is between 7.2% and 12.3% on 12 pads. On 7 of the 9 pads, the cross slope exceeds 3%. On 8 of the 12 pads, the running slope exceeds 8.33%.
Recommendation:
Remove and replace pads with high cross slope. It might not be feasible to achieve a compliant running slope due to the existing terrain. Explore options of zig-zagging the path in order to achieve a more gradual ascent of less than 5% up to the playground. If a route is created to the volleyball court, it may be possible to achieve compliance by creating a route from the volleyball court to the playground.

The section of the accessible route that runs from the turn to the south playground to the south end of the park exiting into the residential area has 46 pads of concrete with excessive running slope and/or cross slope.

Recommendation:
It is not likely feasible to improve the running slope on this section of the route due to the existing terrain. Remove and replace pads with excessive cross slope and leave running slope as-is. Designate as not an accessible route.

As Built:
The sidewalk circling all three playgrounds measures less than 36" in several places. Some of this is due to deterioration while in other areas it was poured that way.
Recommendation:
Remove and replace the sidewalk around the two east playgrounds to compliance. It is recommended the sidewalk be at least 42" wide. The playground with the swings is situated on terrain that would be difficult, if not impossible to create an accessible route to it. Consider redesigning the path of the other two playgrounds in order to tie in a compliant ramp to the north playground and connect the two together with a compliant running slope.
