Residents say slurry‑coat work left Paseo Rincon without handicap accommodations; city staff to follow up
Summary
A Mission Viejo resident told council that a scheduled slurry coat on Paseo Rincon proceeded with removed signs and no temporary handicap parking, leaving a wheelchair user exposed; the speaker said some smoothing occurred days later and asked for better coordination and ADA-compliant temporary parking in future closures.
Stacy Holmes, a Mission Viejo resident, described a planned slurry‑coat operation for Paseo Rincon and said the neighborhood received notice but not the promised accommodations for residents with disabilities. Holmes said temporary handicap parking signage was not posted and that on the day crews removed signs but did not complete the slurry application, leaving her to traverse uneven pavement in a wheelchair.
Council members acknowledged the complaint. The mayor asked staff to follow up; a later comment in the meeting indicated some rough areas were smoothed after the complaint and that the city would ensure signs would be posted when the slurry is finally applied. Holmes cited a prior letter she said she had sent to a former mayor and asked that future road closures include ADA-compliant accommodations.
