FOR RECORD:

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

DATE: 03/04/2025

SUBJECT: Pring Ranch Park Self-Evaluation

1. On 05/19/2022, 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

Exterior - Accessible Routes

BFID: 194003

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 "sides" of the triangle, connecting the paths that lead away from the junction to each other, are walking surfaces that shall not have running slopes greater than 1:20 (5%).

More than one of these elements have findings associated with them in this case.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 304.2 Exception
Slopes not steeper than 1:48 shall be permitted.

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:
Replace non-compliant turning spaces so that they have a less than 2% slope in all directions. Replace the connectors between these turning spaces so that they have cross slopes less than 2% and running slopes less than 5% if feasible.
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)

Multi-court/Basketball - 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.

Recommendation:
Do nothing as it is not feasible to achieve a compliant running slope due to the existing terrain. Designate this route as not accessible. The accessible route is the west route.

Trash - Dog Waste Bag Dispenser - Drinking Fountain

BFID: 194007

Dog Waste Bag Dispenser - The item violates the forward or side reach.

Forward - the reach range is 15" (low) - 48" (high). If there is an obstruction of 20" or less then the height can be up to 48". If the obstruction is between 20-25" the maximum height is 44".

Side - the reach range is 15" (low) - 48" (high) and the maxim height of any obstruction is 34". If the obstruction depth is between 10" - 24", the reach height maximum is 46".
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 308.2.2
Where a high forward reach is over an obstruction, the clear floor space shall extend beneath the element for a distance not less than the required reach depth over the obstruction. The high forward reach shall be 48 inches (1220 mm) maximum where the reach depth is 20 inches (510 mm) maximum. Where the reach depth exceeds 20 inches (510 mm), the high forward reach shall be 44 inches (1120 mm) maximum and the reach depth shall be 25 inches (635 mm) maximum.

2010 ADAS Section 308.3.2
Where a clear floor or ground space allows a parallel approach to an element and the high side reach is over an obstruction, the height of the obstruction shall be 34 inches (865 mm) maximum and the depth of the obstruction shall be 24 inches (610 mm) maximum. The high side reach shall be 48 inches (1220 mm) maximum for a reach depth of 10 inches (255 mm) maximum. Where the reach depth exceeds 10 inches (255 mm), the high side reach shall be 46 inches (1170 mm) maximum for a reach depth of 24 inches (610 mm) maximum

Recommendation:
Relocate the item to the proper reach range.
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)
