Self-Evaluation Overview Elk River is required, under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and 28CFR35.105, to perform a self-evaluation of its current transportation infrastructure, policies, practices, and programs. The self-evaluation will help identify what policies and practices impact accessibility within the Public Right of Way and examine how the City can implement improvements. The goal of the self-evaluation is to verify that, in implementing the Cities policies and practices, the department is providing accessibility and not adversely affecting the full participation of individuals with disabilities. The self-evaluation also examines the condition of the Cities Pedestrian Circulation Route/Pedestrian Access Route) (PCR/PAR) and identifies potential need for PCR/PAR infrastructure improvements. This will include the sidewalks, curb ramps, bicycle/pedestrian trails, traffic control signals and transit facilities. Any barriers to accessibility identified in the self-evaluation and the remedy to the identified barrier are set out in this transition plan. Summary In 2017, Elk River conducted an inventory of pedestrian facilities within its public right of ways consisting of the evaluation of the following facilities: • Sidewalks/trails • Curb ramps • Traffic control signals • Access to City facilities A detailed tabulation of the evaluation on these facilities is found in Appendix A and will be updated periodically as improvements are made and updated evaluations are completed. Implementation Strategy Previous Practices Since the adoption of the ADA, Elk River has strived to provide accessible pedestrian features as part of the Cities capital improvement projects. As additional information was made available as to the methods of providing accessible pedestrian features, the City updated their procedures to accommodate these methods.
