The transition plan <br />states that the City will install sidewalk wheelchair ramps at intersections whenever <br />repair is made to the adjacent street or sidewalk. <br />This CDBG- funded project will install ramps from the Priority One list. Priority One <br />ramps are defined as ramps that should have been upgraded to current ADA standards <br />when a significant street repair project was performed adjacent to them during or after <br />1995. <br />Approximately 239 ramps on the Priority One list have been installed using CDBG funds. <br />It is estimated that CDBG funding is available for an additional 25 ramps as part of this <br />project. Additional ramps will be installed at the request of residents and will be funded <br />using Transportation Development Act (TDA) grant funds. <br />
