TD ADA Transition Plan Comment Period Underway

A 30-day comment period for the City of The Dalles’ Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan is underway and will continue through May 22.  The plan focuses on developing a transition schedule for eliminating existing physical barriers with transportation system right-of-ways.  Planned changes include installation of curb ramps at intersections and accessible pedestrian signals to provide sound indicators along with lighted crosswalk signals where traffic lights are installed.  Implementation would occur over sixty years.  The entire draft ADA Transition Plan and a three-question survey are available online at thedalles.org/engineering or in paper format at the Public Works Department, Mid-Columbia Senior Center, and The Dalles-Wasco County Public Library.  The City of The Dalles booth at the Northwest Cherry Festival Community Fair will feature the ADA Transition Plan.
