FOR RECORD:

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

DATE: 03/05/2025

SUBJECT: John L. Stone Park Self-Evaluation

1. On 04/28/2022, 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

Accessible Routes

BFID: 193733

The path of contains multiple issues and is not accessible.

The path of travel exceeds the maximum allowable cross and running slope requirements. It also contains changes in level and/or gaps that exceed the allowable maximum requirements. The path of travel does not meet the minimum width requirements for clearances, turning spaces, and/or passing spaces. The floor or ground surface is not firm, stable, and slip resistant.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 403.1
Walking surfaces that are a part of an accessible route shall comply with 403.

Recommendation:
Do nothing at this time as this path does not lead anywhere. If it is connected to a path on the Y side it is recommended that the cross slope, fractured pads and vertical displacement be repaired to compliance.
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)

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 likely not feasible to achieve a compliant running slope on this section of the route. Additionally, only part of this path is on park property.

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:

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.

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 1 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.

The city has an obligation to provide access to programs and services. The baseball field is about 55' from the sidewalk at the edge of the skatepark. However, the baseball field does not appear to be heavily used.
Citation:
2015 IBC Section 1104.2
At least one accessible route shall connect accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements and accessible spaces that are on the same site.

2010 ADAS Section 206.2.2
At least one accessible route shall connect accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements, and accessible spaces that are on the same site.

Recommendation:
Add an accessible route from the sidewalk along Family Pl in addition to a 10"x10" pad for seating behind the backstop and two 5"x10" pads at each dugout.
