The project was approved with the following description: "For FY17-18, it is recommended that the CDBG allocation fund the removal of 12 sidewalk curb barriers at 6 crosswalk locations throughout the City and replacement of them with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible curb ramps. This project will remove architectural and material barriers that impede access for the mobility impaired." This project is currently in the design phase. Due to steep grades of the existing streets, the design will not provide for the ADA conforming ramps at the intersection corners. Staff informed the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission Program Manager of the situation. The Program Manager determined that this project could continue and would remain eligible for CDBG funding because it will still remove barriers to access. However, we were advised to notify the City Council and affected property owners about the fact that the design will not conform to the ADA requirements due to the existing grade of the streets.
