Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all State and local governments must be accessible to, and usable by, people with disabilities. The basic principles of the ADA are equal opportunity, integration, and inclusion. From 2017-2019, the City of Homer ADA Compliance Committee and City Staff evaluated City Facilities to identify accessibility barriers. The results were compiled into the City's Transition Plan, in accordance with Title II of the ADA regulations. City Hall is one of the most used city buildings throughout the year and this project corrects access barriers (ADA Priority Level 1 issues) to get into the building. City Hall access barriers include: Cross slopes that exceed 1:48 ratio for all designated accessible parking spaces; absence of van accessible parking; incorrect dimensions of accessible parking spaces; improperly located signage; absence of a level landing at the top of the curb ramp below the front entrance ramp; handrails on ramp protrude into the path of travel and reduces the width to less than 36" width requirement; push bar on main entrance door protrudes into the doorway and reduces the width of the opening to less than 32" width requirement; and front door entrance threshold height. The project is included in the city's 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As March 3, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
