FOR RECORD:

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

DATE: 02/13/2025

SUBJECT: South Shooks Run Park Self-Evaluation

1. On 07/16/2021, 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

South Shooks Run Park

BFID: 191252

The accessible route has running slopes greater than 5% and has not been constructed as a ramp (i.e. handrails,edge protection, etc.). Cross slopes are greater than 2% across the width of the walk.

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.

Recommendation:
This stretch of the trail can not be remediated to compliance because of the excessive running slope.
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)

There are no accessible tables.

At least 5% of each type in each functional area of dining surfaces must be accessible and must be dispersed throughout the space or facility containing dining surfaces. An accessible table must be on an accessible route (36 inches minimum) and have knee and toe spaces at least 27 inches high, 30 inches wide and 17 inches deep. The tops of tables and counters shall be 28 inches to 34 inches from the floor or ground.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 226.1
Where dining surfaces are provided for the consumption of food or drink, at least 5 percent of the seating spaces and standing spaces at the dining surfaces shall comply with 902. In addition, where work surfaces are provided for use by other than employees, at least 5 percent shall comply with 902.

Recommendation:
Take these tables out, pour the pad (make sure the re-pour eliminates the gap), put in tables which enable access. The tables and benches are currently constructed in such a way as to eliminate access. The tables must be between 28-34” to the top. The bottom of the tables must be at least 27” high for knee clearance. Any seating should be between 17-19” high, ideally with back support. Back support not required for exterior placements. Also, eliminate the gap near the mural feature.
