SUBJECT: Horace Shelby Park Self-Evaluation

1. On 06/14/2022, 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.

Findings

Accessible Routes

BFID: 194149

The accessible route on the site has running slopes greater than 5 percent and has not been constructed as a ramp (i.e. handrails, edge protection, 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 a ramp. Surface cross slopes must not exceed one unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope).

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.

As Built:

This pad, which is right after the landing for the curb ramp crossing Summit Peak Dr. at the corner of Summit Peak and Tomiche, has a running slope measuring 9.2%.

Recommendation:

Remove this pad and re-configure ramp to extend further up to include this pad in order to achieve a running slope of 8.33% or less. The work and cost associated are included in a previous finding addressing the curb ramp.

Barrier Priority:

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.

The curb ramp on La Plata Peak Dr. crossing toward Dolores St. has several issues.

Recommendation:

Remove and replace the curb ramp, add a level landing and look to extend route from landing to the east/southeast to then connect to the interior route. If that is not feasible look to eliminate route and relocate a ramp along La Plata Peak in an area where compliance can be met.

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 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.

As Built:

The curb ramp at the corner of La Plata Peak Dr and Tomiche Dr crossing La Plata Peak is missing detectable warnings.

Recommendation:

Add detectable warnings.

The landing at the top of the curb ramp has running slope and/or cross slope exceeding 2%.

Citation:

2010 ADAS Section 406.4
Landings shall be provided at the tops of curb ramps. The landing clear length shall be 36 inches (915 mm) minimum. The landing clear width shall be at least as wide as the curb ramp, excluding flared sides, leading to the landing.

As Built:

The landing of the curb ramp near the playground crossing Tomiche Dr has a slope measuring 3.9%. There is also a 3/4" gap between the ramp face and the landing.

Recommendation:

Remove and replace landing to compliance.

As Built:

This path that runs along the south side of the pavilion has one pad of concrete with high cross slope measuring 2.4%.

Recommendation:

Remove and replace concrete to compliance.

The surface of the pedestrian access route has vertical discontinuities greater than 1/2 inch or between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch that are not beveled.

Vertical surface discontinuities shall be 0.5 inch maximum. Vertical surface discontinuities between 0.25 inch and 0.5 inch shall be beveled with a slope not steeper than 50 percent. The bevel shall be applied across the entire vertical surface discontinuity.

Citation:

As Built:

The concrete at the pavilion has vertical displacements as high as 1" around the posts, 1" gaps between pads and slope as high as 2.7%.

Recommendation:

Remove and replace pavilion concrete.
