SUBJECT: Andrew J. Templeton Park Self-Evaluation

1. On 12/07/2021, 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.

The bevel shall be applied across the entire vertical surface discontinuity.Advisory R302.7.2 Vertical Surface Discontinuities. The allowance for vertical surface discontinuities is for occasional expansion joints and objects such as utility covers, vault frames, and gratings that cannot be located in another portion of the sidewalk outside the pedestrian access route. However, objects such as utility covers, vault frames, and gratings should not be located on curb ramp runs, blended transitions, turning spaces, or gutter areas within the pedestrian access route. This may not always be possible in alterations, but should be avoided wherever possible. Vertical surface discontinuities between unit pavers should be minimized.

As Built:

There is 1.25" vertical displacement between pads of concrete over the storm drain on the east side of the park along Rose Ridge Ln.

Trash and Dog Waste Receptacle

BFID: 192732

There is a running or cross slope greater than 2% that must be navigated in order to access the trash can or dog waste receptacle.

Citation:

2010 ADAS Section 309.2
A clear floor or ground space complying with 305 shall be provided.

As Built:

The concrete in front of the dog waste bag dispenser, located on the south end of the park along Rose Ridge Dr., has a slope of 3.2%.

Recommendation:

Made the concrete pad to at or under 2% in all directions or relocate the item to a level area within all reach ranges. We need at a minimum a 30"x48" area.

Barrier Priority:

Low (4): Should be completed as soon as possible due to being a technical violation, but may not result in providing greater access to persons with disabilities. (Includes findings that are technically violations but provide a moderate to low increase in accessibility compared to the financial impact on the entity)

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.

As Built:

About 75% of the concrete around the playground (excluding the pavilion as well as accessible picnic tables which are in a separate finding) is out of compliance. In addition to excessive cross slope over approximately 70% of the pads, there are multiple vertical displacements of more than 1/2" due to heaving or sinking concrete, and gaps up to 1" wide and 3" deep in several spots.

Recommendation:

Remove and replace concrete around playground 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 surface of the pedestrian access route has vertical discontinuities greater than 1/2 inch or between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch that are not beveled.

Vertical surface discontinuities shall be 0.5 inch maximum. Vertical surface discontinuities between 0.25 inch and 0.5 inch shall be beveled with a slope not steeper than 50 percent. The bevel shall be applied across the entire vertical surface discontinuity.

Citation:

As Built:

The concrete at the pavilion is shifting resulting in vertical displacement up to 1.5" and gaps up to 1" wide and 3.5" deep.

Recommendation:

Grind to at or under 1/2" bevel all vertical lift unless first remove and replaced concrete at the pavilion.
