SUBJECT: Memorial Park Pavilions Self-Evaluation

1. On 03/12/2020, 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.

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.
Citation:
2011 PROWAG Section R302.7.2
Vertical surface discontinuities shall be 13 mm (0.5 in) maximum.

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.

Recommendation:
Remove and replace the panel.

There is not enough knee clearance under the drinking fountain. The spout is 6" from the front of the fountain; the maximum allowed is 5".

The drinking fountain must have a clear knee space between the bottom of the drinking fountain and the floor not less than 27 inches in height, 30 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 602.2
Units shall have a clear floor or ground space complying with 305 positioned for a forward approach and centered on the unit. Knee and toe clearance complying with 306 shall be provided.

Recommendation:
Replace with a compliant drinking fountain and mount with at least 27" of knee clearance while maintaining 36" maximum to the spout. If water turned off all the time this can stay there.
Barrier Priority:
Low (4): Should be completed as soon as possible due to being a technical violation, but may not result in providing greater access to persons with disabilities. (Includes findings that are technically violations but provide a moderate to low increase in accessibility compared to the financial impact on the entity)
