AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES TRANSITION PLAN 2008

CITY OF PLEASANTON Page 4 of 12 TRANSITION PLAN July 28, 2004 Updated February 1, 2008 PLAN DEVELOPMENT This Transition Plan assesses the impact that interior and exterior architectural barriers have on program accessibility, describes barrier removal solutions, estimates costs and proposes funding sources for their correction. it also provides a schedule for their removal, and sets priorities to complete the work. The effort to enhance accessibility is an on going process and includes the City's commitment to include ADA modifications as part of its major building renovations and annual improvements. Many of the City's facilities were constructed prior to the enactment of accessibility codes and as such, they were not originally designed to provide access for individuals with disabilities. While facilities constructed in more recent years have differing degrees of accessibility, changes in current code provisions and standards warrant physical upgrades to be fully accessible. The City has required buildings and facilities constructed or renovated recently to fully comply with current standards. Notwithstanding the various conditions as noted above, the Accessibility Evaluation Report (Appendix A) indicates that there is a reasonable level of access to City facilities. The City is committed, however, to removing the remaining obstacles to program accessibility. Further, signage at the facilities needs to be modified and at a number of locations, fire alarm systems do not have visual warning devices (strobes). The following are the overall objectives of the City and the basis for this Transition Plan for the facilities: 1. Identify the facilities to be surveyed. (Page 8) 2. Perform a visual survey of all aspects of disabled access for City facilities and create an Accessibility Evaluation Report. (Appendix A) 3. Develop a listing of corrective actions required to be in compliance with the ADA/Section 504. (Page 10 and Appendix A) 4. Prioritize and recommend a schedule for the necessary actions to implement accessibility compliance modifications. (Page 11) 5. Maintain an on going program to monitor and address implementation of this Transition Plan for disabled access. (Page 9)
