Handicap Street Corners

American Disablility Act (ADA) Compliance Plan

A 2004 fall survey of the street intersections in Los Banos revealed a number of street corners without a handicap accessible ramp. A focused effort will be applied to bring corners into compliance starting with sidewalk and/or curb & gutter that are adjacent to other repairs being made.

• 418 total number of corners w/o ADA accessibility
• 50 number of corners w/o sidewalks leading up to the corner
• 368 number of corners w/sidewalks leading up to the corner
• $800 average cost per corner
• 3 days w/3 personnel average time allotment per corner

20 Year Compliance Plan

The following figures reflect a workable plan for bringing our city up to compliance at intersections where pedestrian traffic is designated. Some of the corners in question will be improved as development occurs. This will reduce the overall compliance time period.

• 20 corners per year installed/improved
• $16,000 cost/yr to install 20 corners per year
• 12 weeks/yr needed to complete 20 corners per year

NOTE:

Work began January 1, 2005 on the compliance plan for completing all street intersections in Los Banos with ADA corners. A projected completion date is December 31, 2024.
