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. This project corrects parking and pavement barriers (ADA Priority Level 1 issues) at City facilities to aid the entire community in accessing and participating in programs, services or activities provided by the City of Homer. ADA regulations standardize the size and number of marked accessible parking spaces in a lot and appropriate signage placed such that it cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space. Accessibility standards also require firm, stable and slip resistant surfaces. Many City of Homer facilities do not meet these standards. As of January 9, 2025, this project is included in the City of Homer's FY 2025-2030 CIP. Information regarding a design firm and the general contractor selection timeline has not been disclosed.
