Increasing Mobility in Burlington
The City of Burlington is in the process of developing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to guide when and where mobility improvements need to be made. City staff are conducting an inventory of current pedestrian facilities throughout the city, looking for gaps in and barriers to accessibility.
The Americans with Disabilities Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires an ADA Transition Plan from public entities having responsibility for, or authority over facilities, streets, roads, sidewalks and/or other areas meant for public use (collectively referred to as “facilities”). This Plan must describe how facilities will be transitioned to meet federal accessibility standards.
