BACKGROUND The ADA mandates construction of curb ramps at street intersections when roadway pavement is replaced, overlaid, or treated with cape seal. This contract installed ramps at locations where pavement work was planned as part of the Annual Street Sealing 2019-2021 project. Fifty-one new ramps were installed at locations where none existed, and thirty-seven existing non-compliant ramps were upgraded. Curb ramps are a vital component of the pedestrian path of travel and an important element in implementing the City’s Complete Streets policy. Ramps allow persons with mobility disabilities to safely cross streets, and they make the City’s sidewalks accessible, regardless of physical ability. Each ramp includes a panel of raised tactile domes to warn the vision impaired of a street crossing. Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 1/14/2022 64
