11 ADA Considerations • Continue to enforce ADA requirements as pedestrian walkways are upgraded. • Include residents with disabilities in the development of pedestrian safe network transit connections. • Include residents with disabilities in developing a trail plan that connects residents to parks and open spaces. • Regularly restripe parking lots, adding ADA compliant signage and striping for access aisles for handicapped parking. • Update restrooms in City Hall improving their accessibility and usage. • Proceed on Capital Improvement Plan for remodeling/rebuilding Community Park building following ADA compliance. • Include playground updates in the Community Park rebuild. • Review the 2014 safety and compliant audit of playgrounds and include updates in Capital Improvement Plan. Lauderdale Compliance Requirements Lauderdale is the smallest city in the LWV of Roseville Area. Because it is a city with only five full time employees, Lauderdale is not required to have an ADA Coordinator, grievance procedure or a transition plan, but Lauderdale is required to ensure that all their city structures, services, programs, and activities are accessible under Title II of the ADA act. While not having a compliance plan, Lauderdale’s 2040 Comprehensive plan sets goals and strategies for renewal and redevelopment of various areas. Lauderdale acknowledges the value of citizen participation in local government in their Comprehensive plan. Community Character Goal 2 states, “Work to maintain effective, responsible and adaptive leadership in the City.” Goal 3 states, “Support citizen participation, public education and outreach to ensure policies and plans reflect the aspiration of the community.” Lauderdale’s 2040 Comprehensive plan also sets identifiable goals in outdoor usage that affect equal citizen accessibility. The city has set a Transportation, Transit, Bikeways and Walkability goal to “Provide a safe network of roadways, bikeways and pedestrian ways that connect residents in the city and to the larger area.” (TTBW Goal 1). A strategy to work toward the goal is to, “Support new roadway designs in redevelopment areas that plan for bikeways and pedestrian ways that provide mode choice to existing and new residents.” All strategies should include ADA accessibility.
