REQUEST RATIONALE:

A Citywide ADA compliance plan is called out in the Community Strategic Plan, the PARCC plan and the Comprehensive Plan
• Required:
Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of Redmond is required to have a transition plan in place that identifies accessibility gaps in existing facilities and services and how those will be addressed.
• Council Request:
N/A
• Other Key Facts:
The City is continuing to improve accessibility for people of all ages and abilities and approval of the ADA Facilities Transition Plan will help prioritize these improvements.
OUTCOMES:
The Draft ADA Transition Plan for Facilities identifies all facility aspects that are out of compliance, how to bring them into compliance and a prioritization and phasing plan to address the most important issues first. This ensures that the City will be making the most important fixes that improve access in a timely manner.

The Draft Transition Plan was completed by the consultant in early June of 2020. Reviews were held by:
