BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On December 6, 2016, the City Council approved the proposed FY17-18 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) project and budget.' 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.
