This <br />contract will install ramps at locations scheduled for pavement work as part of Annual Street <br />Sealing 2015-16 and Annual Overlay / Rehabilitation 2015-16 projects. New ramps will be <br />installed at locations where none exist and existing non-compliant ramps will be upgraded. <br />Curb ramps are a vital component of the pedestrian travel way. Ramps allow people in <br />wheelchairs to safely cross the street and make our sidewalks accessible to everyone <br />regardless of physical ability. Each ramp includes a panel of raised domes to warn the seeing <br />impaired of a street crossing. <br />Analysis <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 5110/2016 <br />
