Saint Anthony Village ADA Transition Plan for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way Page 5 5. ADA COORDINATOR In accordance with 28 CFR 35.107(a), the City of Saint Anthony Village has identified an ADA Title II Coordinator to oversee the City’s policies and procedures. Contact information for this individual is in Appendix B. 6. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE The City of Saint Anthony Village will utilize two methods for upgrading pedestrian facilities to the current ADA standards. The first and most comprehensive of the two methods are the scheduled street and utility improvement projects. All pedestrian facilities impacted by these projects will be upgraded to current ADA accessibility standards. The second method is the stand-alone sidewalk and ADA accessibility improvement project. These projects may be incorporated into the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) on a case by case basis as determined by the City of Saint Anthony Village. The City CIP, which includes a detailed schedule and budget for specific improvements, is available on the City’s website at https://www.savmn.com/. The City also has an annual maintenance budget for sidewalk improvements that may be utilized as appropriate. 7.

Prior to officially adopting the plan, this document was made available online at the City’s website for public review and comment. The City notified the public through the City’s website and in future quarterly newsletters to encourage input from the community and help define priority areas for improvements within the jurisdiction of the City of Saint Anthony Village. Additional public outreach efforts will be provided as the City implements its plan and over time as improvements are made. 8.
