FOR RECORD:

FROM: Robert L. Hernandez, Title II ADA/Section 504 – Manager

DATE: 03/04/2025

SUBJECT: Springs Ranch Park Self-Evaluation

1. On 05/10/2022, 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. Alternatively, this link is available from the Office of Accessibility’s webpage on the City of Colorado Springs website.

Findings

Accessible Routes

BFID: 189523

The curb ramps do not have detectable warnings.
Citation:
2011 PROWAG Section R208.1
Detectable warning surfaces complying with R305 shall be provided at the following locations on pedestrian access routes and at transit stops:
1. Curb ramps and blended transitions at pedestrian street crossings;
2. Pedestrian refuge islands;
3. Pedestrian at-grade rail crossings not located within a street or highway;
4. Boarding platforms at transit stops for buses and rail vehicles where the edges of the boarding platform are not protected by screens or guards; and
5. Boarding and alighting areas at sidewalk or street level transit stops for rail vehicles where the side of the boarding and alighting areas facing the rail vehicles is not protected by screens or guards.Advisory R208.1 Where Required. On pedestrian access routes, detectable warning surfaces indicate the boundary between pedestrian and vehicular routes where there is a flush rather than a curbed connection. Detectable warning surfaces should not be provided at crossings of residential driveways since the pedestrian right-of-way continues across residential driveway aprons. However, where commercial driveways are provided with yield or stop control, detectable warning surfaces should be provided at the junction between the pedestrian route and the vehicular route. Where pedestrian at-grade rail crossings are located within a street or highway, detectable warning surfaces at the curb ramps or blended transitions make a second set of detectable warning surfaces at the rail crossing unnecessary.
Detectable warning surfaces are not intended to provide wayfinding for pedestrians who are blind or have low vision. Wayfinding can be made easier by:
•Sidewalks that provide a clear path free of street furniture;
•Visual contrast between walking and non-walking areas (e.g., planted borders);
•Route edges that are clear and detectable by cane;
•Direct pedestrian street crossings and curb ramps that are in-line with direction of travel;
•Small corner radiuses that permit pedestrian street crossings to be as short and direct as possible;
•Orthogonal intersections that facilitate navigation using parallel and perpendicular vehicle sound cues;
•and barriers where pedestrian travel or crossing is not permitted.

Recommendation:
Install detectable warnings.
Barrier Priority:
High (1): Should be completed immediately. (Includes findings that have little or no cost, were in violation of the codes at the time of construction, or pose an imminent safety threat)

Where there is a triangular junction of three routes, the "points" of that junction are turning spaces that shall not have slopes greater than 1:48 (2.08%).

The accessible path of travel has cross slopes greater than 2%.

Surface cross slopes shall not exceed one unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope). When the slope in the direction of travel of any walk exceeds 1 unit vertical in 20 units horizontal (5-percent slope), it must be constructed as a ramp.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 403.3
The running slope of walking surfaces shall not be steeper than 1:20. The cross slope of walking surfaces shall not be steeper than 1:48.

Recommendation:
Remove and replace the concrete at <2%. In the meantime, grind the joint between the path and the picnic table pad to <1/4 inch.
Barrier Priority:
Important (2): Should be completed as soon as possible. (Includes findings that would remove barriers to the greatest number of people to your goods and services)

The concrete expansion joint is spaced greater than 1/2 inch.

Openings in floor or ground surfaces shall not allow passage of a sphere more than 1/2 inch diameter. Elongated openings shall be placed so that the long dimension is perpendicular to the dominant direction of travel.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 302.3
Openings in floor or ground surfaces shall not allow passage of a sphere more than 1/2 inch (13 mm) diameter except as allowed in 407.4.3, 409.4.3, 410.4, 810.5.3 and 810.10. Elongated openings shall be placed so that the long dimension is perpendicular to the dominant direction of travel.

Recommendation:
Clean out and reseal this expansion joint.
Barrier Priority:
