TD Council Dealing With ADA Sidewalk Requirements

The Dalles City Council talked for nearly an hour about street maintenance plans, most notably over how to design and reconstruct over 16-hundred sidewalk ramps to meet federal American With Disabilities Act requirements.  Mayor Rich Mays says even if spread over 30 years the work will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, and there remains the need to continue to do street maintenance that the City has been trying to get to for a number of years.  Councilors indicated they do not want to seek additional revenue measures to deal with the issue.  A worksession on the topic was scheduled for February 13.
