ADA PUBLIC WORKSHOP - SAVE THE DATE!

The City of Aberdeen is committed to providing equal access to its public right-of-way facilities for all citizens including those with disabilities.

To achieve this end, the City is developing an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan for the Public Right-of-Way (PROW) focusing on curb ramps, sidewalks, driveways, paved shared-use paths, and pedestrian street crossings within City limits.

• Provide the public with the opportunity to identify barriers to accessibility and recommend improvements to the City’s public right-of-way.

• Develop relationships with local organizations serving individuals with disabilities as identified by the ADA.
