Staff reports courthouse ADA ramp nearly complete; ADA parking spaces still pending
Summary
Staff told the council the courthouse ramp is largely finished although handrails may remain to be installed; however, new ADA parking spaces have not been constructed and sidewalk work on city right‑of‑way will be needed to create an access path.
A staff member briefed the council on progress to add ADA access at the courthouse, saying the ramp is "pretty well complete" though handrails may still be needed. The staff member told the council that none of the ADA parking work has been done yet and that some sidewalk will have to be removed and converted into an ADA access path on city right‑of‑way.
The staff member said there will be a five‑foot buffer beside the parking spaces that will become the access path and that the curb and gutter will be moved to accommodate the spaces and ramp. Council members discussed the resulting clearances and ramp slope; staff observed that the ramp rise will "get close" to accessibility limits but that there should still be sufficient width for the access route. No formal vote or contract award for the courthouse ADA work appears in the transcript.
