Saint Anthony Village ADA Transition Plan for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way Page 3 2. SELF-EVALUATION A. OVERVIEW The City of Saint Anthony Village is required, under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and 28CFR35.105, to perform a self-evaluation of its current transportation infrastructure policies, practices, and programs. This self-evaluation will identify what policies and practices impact accessibility and examine how the City of Saint Anthony Village implements these policies. The goal of the self-evaluation is to verify that, in implementing the City of Saint Anthony Village’s policies and practices, the department is providing accessibility and not adversely affecting the full participation of individuals with disabilities. The self-evaluation also examines the condition of the City of Saint Anthony Village’s Pedestrian Circulation Route/Pedestrian Access Route) (PCR/PAR) and identifies potential need for PCR/PAR infrastructure improvements. This will include the sidewalks, curb ramps, bicycle/pedestrian trails and traffic control signals that are located within the City of Saint Anthony Village public rights of way. Any barriers to accessibility identified in the self-evaluation and the remedy to the identified barrier are set out in this transition plan. B. SUMMARY In September and November 2018, the City of Saint Anthony Village conducted an inventory (using available GIS data, aerial/street imagery, and on-site verification) of pedestrian facilities within the city-owned public rights of way consisting of the evaluation of the following facilities: • 7.5 miles of sidewalks • 172 curb ramps • 1 traffic control signal A summary of the inventory results on how facilities within the City’s public rights of way relate to ADA standards is found in Appendix A and will be updated periodically. ADA Transition Plan updates will occur periodically to incorporate the evaluation of other City services and programs into this document.
