SUBJECT: Rock Ledge Ranch Self-Evaluation
1. On 09/17/2020, 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.

As Built:
The end of this walkway ends with a 1" area of vertical displacement.
Recommendation:
Replace last pad or add taper on last pad to make easier to eliminate the rise.
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)

The accessible route contains running slopes greater than 5 percent and cross slopes greater than 2 percent across the width of the walk and has not been constructed as a ramp (i.e. handrails, wheel guides, etc.).
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 ramp. Surface cross slopes must not exceed 1 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 ramp. Surface cross slopes must not exceed 1 unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope).

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.
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.
As Built:
14 panels of sidewalk have running slope or cross slope issues in this stretch of sidewalk, the bottom two have cross slopes up to 3.9% and the high running slope in upper 12 panels is 13.1%. We also have gravel spilling into the walk area making the surface not firm, stable and slip resistant.
Recommendation:
Fix cross slope in the two panels in the turn area, create barrier or system to keep gravel out, determine feasibility of create a ramp to allow people to access this area. We need to due to the store and the rock house. Even though we can replicate some of the rock house experience via videos/pictures.

As Built:
The route from Rockledge House and the General store has cross slopes up to 8% and it isn't firm, stable, and slip resistant.
Recommendation:
Explore options to hard surface a route connecting each and install if feasible. We may have significant obstacles in completing this.
