Consultation has concluded
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a comprehensive piece of legislation that both prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life. The City of Mercer Island develops its buildings and infrastructure to meet these standards and, where possible, update facilities to meet these standards.
To better assess these needs, the City is developing an ADA Transition Plan as defined in Title II of the Act, that focuses on identifying gaps and barriers in public Right-of-Way (curb ramps, crosswalks, and sidewalks), parks (paths, restrooms, picnic areas), and City buildings (doorways, hardware, and walkways). This plan will also define priorities for investments that remove barriers and will guide planning and implementation of necessary accessibility improvements.
The plan was under development throughout the fall of 2021 with a draft version available for public review until April 2022. The final ADA Transition Plan is now available and will be adopted by the City Council in May 2022.
