CHAPTER I. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The concept of designing for the handicapped still
generally brings forth images of wheelchairs and walking sticks. But,
while those images describe a part of the mobility - impaired population,
the need has now been recognized as more widespread - -as one that speaks
to each and every citizen as we follow the path of life. A young parent
with a stroller, a toddler taking first steps, an athlete suffering a tempor-
ary injury, an individual suffering from a post- operative recovery period,
an elderly person wanting to walk through a neighborhood park - -these
images must be incorporated into our picture of the need for full accessi-
bility.
According to Thomas Fisher in Progressive Architecture,
(July, 1985), "Over 30 million Americans suffer from some sort of mobility
problem, over II million people have visual impairments, and as many as 22
million people have varying degrees of hearing impairments."
We can no longer design our public spaces for only one
point in time and one type of life span, but must recognize that we all have
the right to equal access.
A period of less than full ability, temporary or permanent,
will reach most of us at some point in our lifetimes. Our society has the
resources to ensure that none of us be excluded from public life due to any
type of impairment.
The following plan, undertaken in response to both
Federal requirements and local demand, is designed to help move Ithaca
1
toward the day when all will ha
access to public life.
BACKGROUND
equal programmatic and physical
The Revenue Sharing Act of 1972, as amended in 1976,
included the handicapped discrimi ation prohibitions of Section 504 of the
Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1983. General regulations prohibiting handi-
capped discrimination have been i effect since April 6, 1977. On October
17, 1983, the Office of Revenue Sharing published final regulations in the
Federal Register implementing the handicapped discrimination program
requirements.
The administrative requirements which all governments
must satisfy under the regulations include the preparation of a self -
evaluation of all programs, activities, policies and practices to determine
areas of noncompliance with the handicapped discrimination regulations. All
governments must determine as part of the self - evaluation, the structural
and nonstructural changes needed to achieve compliance. If structural
changes are needed, governments are required to prepare a transition plan
describing how the changes will be made. Recipient Governments must also
ensure that any programs provided by secondary recipients are accessible
to handicapped individuals.
The City of thaca began to address the issue of
handicapped accessibility in 1979, through a study funded by a $7,000
Community Development grant. Ih 1980, Department of Transportation (DOT)
approval was received for a Tran it Plan involving a contractual agreement
2
1:3
with Gadabout, and Common Council established a policy of meeting in
accessible locations. City budgets since 1981 have included expenditures
for improvements to handicapped accessibility. Projects have included
improvements to City Hall entranceway and bathrooms, installation of
handicapped- designated parking spots and curb cuts, and improvements
to several other City -owned buildings. Community Development funds
have also been used to improve accessibility (see attached list).
In 1983, the Office of Revenue Sharing published
final regulations implementing the handicapped discrimination program re-
quirements. The City originally planned to rely on its 1979 study of
handicapped accessibility, but in November of 1984, the ORS distributed
a suggested format for the self - evaluation and transition plans. In April
of 1985, the City of Ithaca retained Carol Chock to prepare a new plan
according to the official ORS format and examine City buildings and
facilities in light of revisions to the New York State Building Code. (See
attached Time Line.)

1983: The Office of Revenue Sharing Published Final Regulations
Implementing the Handicapped Discrimination Program
Requirements.
Five Step Format:
(1) Designation of a Program Coordinator (City did, 1984)
(2) Official Notice of Non - Discrimination (City did, 1984)
(3) Adoption of a Grievance Procedure.
(4) Conduction of a Self - Evaluation.
(5) Preparation of a Transition Plan.
The Self- Evaluation and Transition Plans were required by
October, 1984, with Total Program Conformance Required by
October, 1986.
The City originally planned to rely on the 1979 study, but in
Nov. 1984, the O.R.S. distributed a suggested format for the Self- Evaluation
and Transition Plans.
April 1985: The City contracted with Carol Chock to prepare a new plan according
to the official format and examining City structures in light of
the New York State Building Code Revisions. 5
Requirements
A five -step plan must be
followed to meet the Office of Revenue
Sharing (ORS) requirements con
erning handicapped accessibility. Step I
is the designation of a responsible
employee as Section 504 Program
Coordinator and the initial publid
notice of a local policy against handi-
capped discrimination. H. M. Van
Cort, Director of Planning and Develop-
ment, was appointed Program Coordinator
and public notice was given in
the Ithaca Journal on January 17,
1984.
Step 2 in the process of implementing
the handicapped discrimina-
tion requirements is the acloptior
of a grievance procedure to ensure the
prompt and equitable review of complaints
alleging handicapped discrimina-
tion. A Grievance Procedure was
adopted by Common Council on August 7,
1985, and is presented in Chapter
2.
The third step in the ORS
regulations is the preparation of the
Self- Evaluation. A recipient go
ernment is required to conduct a self -
evaluation concerning all of its programs
and activities, policies and prac-
tices, regardless of whether or
not a particular program is funded with
Revenue Sharing Funds.
The self - evaluation should
include, in general, an examination of
the government's:
• policies and practices c
ncerning employment decisions;
• programs and activities
to make certain that they are
readily accessible to an
usable by the handicapped;
• policies and practices to
determine if the delivery of
aids, benefits, and services
are free from discrimina-
tory effects on the handicapped;
and
• contractual agreements
which may have the effect of
subjecting handicapped
persons to discrimination.
6
I
FA
Discussion of the City's own self - evaluation process is begun in
Chapter 3. Chapter 4 examines City contractual agreements, and
Chapter 5 discusses secondary recipients of revenue sharing funds;
those agencies and organizations who receive revenue sharing funding
through the City of Ithaca.
Chapter 6 presents the results of the survey of City buildings,
facilities and streets. It includes discussions of City curb cut policy,
handicapped- designated parking, and accessibility in City parks.
Suggestions and complaints received from the public are presen-
ted in Chapter 7. Public input was solicited through a large mailing,
through PSA's in the broadcast and print media, and through personal
contact with many individuals and organizations. Responses were
received through the mail, by telephone, at personal meetings, and at
a public meeting on handicapped accessibility held on July 25, 1985.
Step 4 in the Revenue Sharing Regulations is the preparation of
a Transition Plan. It must identify physical obstacles in the govern-
ment's facilities that limit the accessibility of programs to handicapped
persons, and describe, in detail, the methods that will be used to
make the facilities accessible. If phasing is necessary, the plan should
indicate the steps required. Chapter 8 presents a transition plan for
the City of Ithaca and general recommendations for its implementaiton.
The transition plan, in some instances, goes beyond the
letter of the law to present a vision of a barrier -free future. Items
requiring immediate attention are indicated with a Priority I ranking.
Other items that are either not in high- demand areas or that require
larger expenditures are given priority rankings of 2, 3, or 4. The
plan should be viewed as one which will require a period of years to
implement.
7
CHAPTER II. G�IEVANCE PROCEDURE
Step 2 in the Revenue Sharing requirements is the
adoption of a grievance procedure to ensure prompt and equitable review
of complaints alleging handicapped discrimination. The Grievance Procedure
must incorporate due process Stan ands, and must contain:
(l.) A detailed description of the procedures for the
submission of a g ievance;
(2.) A reasonable time able for review and resolution
of the grievance;
(3.) A two -step review process which allows for appeal; and
(4.) Provisions for keeping a record of all grievances sub-
mitted and docum ntation of steps taken toward resolu-
tion.
In accordarice with Revenue Sharing requirements,
the following Grievance Procedure and Amendment were adopted by Common
Council on August 7, 1985. Public comment was invited at a meeting
on handicapped accessibility held n July 25, 1985.

second sentence.
Insert new Step 6: "If the program coordinator determines that, because of
time constraints, the complainant will be effectively denied redress under
the normal procedures even if successful, (e.g., the program will be over,

CHAPTER III. SELF - EVALUATION
OF CITY PROGRAMS, SERVICES, AND ACTIVITIES
ORS requirements include a self - evaluation of all
programs, services, activities, policies, and practices, to determine
areas of noncompliance with handicapped discrimination regulations. The
self evaluation must include an examination of:
Employment and personnel policies
and practices;
The extent to which programs and activities
are readily accessible to and usable by the
handicapped;
The extent to which the delivery of
benefits and services are free from
discriminatory effects on the handi-
capped; and
The extent to which contractual arrange-
ments are free from subjecting handicapped
persons to discrimination.
Throughout May and June of 1985, each City of Ithaca
Department head received an in -depth interview, based on a six -page
self evaluation questionnaire.
The process served both an information - gathering
purpose and one of self- education, as the consultant and the department
head worked together to perform the self - evaluation.
Included as part of this report is a list of the depart-
ment heads, a copy of the memo and a sample self - evaluation questionnaire
form. Completed forms are on file at the Department of Planning and
Development. Results were incorporated into the recommendations of this
report.

MEMORANDUM
TO: All City of Ithaca Department Heads
FROM: Carol Chock, Planning Consultant
RE: Sec. 504 -- REVENUE SHARING
Handicapped Accessibility Requirements
DATE: May 16, 1985
Background
The Revenue Sharing Act of 1972, as amended in 1976, included the handicapped
discrimination prohibitions of Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
General regulations prohibiting handicapped discrimination have been in effect
since April 6, 1977. On October 17, 1983, the Office of Revenue Sharing pub-
lished final regulations in the Federal Register implementing the handicapped
discrimination program requirements.
The administrative requirements which all governments must satisfy under the
regulations include the preparation of a self - evaluation of all programs,
activities, policies and practices to determine areas of noncompliance with the
handicapped discrimination regulations. All governments must determine as
part of the self - evaluation, the structural and nonstructural changes needed
to achieve compliance. If structural changes are needed, governments are
required to prepare a transition plan describing how the changes will be made
over a period not to exceed 3 years (no later than October 17, 1986) .
Requirements
A recipient government is required to conduct a self- evaluation concerning all
of its programs and activities, policies and practices, regardless of whether or
not a particular program is funded with revenue sharing funds. The self -
evaluation requirement is designed to provide recipient governments with a
one -time opportunity to review their programs and activities because a
government may, in the future, fund a program not currently funded with
revenue sharing funds.
The self- evaluaton should include, in general, an examination of the government's:
policies and practices concerning employment decisions;
programs and activities to make certain that they are readily accessible
to and usable by the handicapped;
It policies and practices to determine if the delivery of aids, benefits,
and services are free from discriminatory effects on the handicapped;
and
contractual agreements which may have the effect of subjecting handi-
capped persons to discrimination.

How This Affects You
While the City of Ithaca has examined the needs of its handicapped residents
and has completed many of the structural changes ahead of the required
schedule, it has never performed the required formal self - evaluation.
I have been retained by the Dept. of Planning and Development to coordinate
a self - evaluation process for the City of Ithaca. As part of that process,
each Department Head will be required to complete a self - evaluation question-
naire, with my assistance. I will be contacting you in the next few weeks
to set up an appointment for that purpose.
You will receive a copy of the q estionnaire in advance of the appointment;
how much of it you are able to complete ahead of time will determine the
length of our meeting.
Thank you for your cooperation. I will look forward to meeting with each of
you.

CHAPTER IV. CONTRACTS
As part of the self - evaluation process, the City
was required to examine the extent to which contractual arrangements
are free from subjecting handicapped persons to discrimination.
As a result of the self - evaluation questionnaire and interviews, the
City Attorney drafted a non - discrimination clause to be added to all
City Contract forms, including purchase orders. Common Council
adopted the clause on July 10, 1985, with the following resolution:
HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
Agenda Item B
Non - Discrimination Clause for City Contracts
Resolution
WHEREAS, the Human Services Committee has determined that non-
discrimination language should be included in all City
contracts,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following clause shall
be included in any City contract:
"The contractor will not discriminate against any employee,
applicant for employment, sub - contractor, supplier of
materials or services or program participant because of
race, age, creed, color, sex, national origin, disability,
marital status or sexual preference."
23
CHAPTER V. *ECONDARY RECIPIENTS
Secondary Recipients of Revenue Sharing Funds
were included in the self-evaluation process. The twelve 1985 recipi-
ents of City of Ithaca Revenue Sharing Funds (see attached list) were
required to complete self-evaluation questionnaires similar to those
completed by City of Ithaca department heads. Those questionnaires are
on file at the Department of Planning and development.
Self-evaluation questionnaires have been added
to the required documentation for 1986 applicants of Revenue Sharing
funds as well.

CHAPTER VI. CITY PROPERTIES AND FACILITIES
City properties, facilities, and streets which receive
widespread public use were individually inspected to determine handicapped
accessibility. The New York State Building Code, which incorporates
standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
for handicapped accessibility, was used as a guideline and a starting point
for the evaluations.
The follow
Ing pages contain:
(I.) A list of City-ow red properties used by the
public, including buildings, parking garages,
ground -level lots, parks, and other.
(2.) A discussion of City curb cut policy.
(3.) A list of handica ped- designated parking
spaces.
(4.) Completed survey
parking garages,
Parks are discussed in greater del
forms for City buildings,

CURBCUTS
Original curbcuts (approximately 105 cuts) were installed between
1979 and 1981, funded by the Community Development Agency as part of
their Neighborhood Improvements Program. In 1985, $20,000 of City Funds
were designated by the Board of Public Works and approved by Common
Council to fund 65 additional curbcuts.
Curbcuts are complete in the downtown commercial area surrounding
the Ithaca Commons, and three paths have been created leading to the
Commons area.
(1) From Titus Towers
(2) From McGraw House
(3) From the Hancock Street
public housing project.
(See Map: Curbcuts as of 1985). Current City policy is to install a curbcut
whenever a curb needs repair or replacement. This has sometimes led to
isolated curbcuts which seemingly "lead nowhere." These isolated cuts will
eventually form new paths,- as maintenance work is required throughout the
City.
On some streets, settling of the street pavement area adjacent to
the concrete curbcut ramp has made it difficult to maintain the maximum
curb lip at 5/8" set by the A.N.S.I. and New York State standards.
Curbcut construction, when treated on an individual basis, costs
the City approximately $800 per curbcut. Incorporation of curbcuts into
the City's annual program of street and sidewalk maintenance reduces that
cost to approximately $300 per curbcut.

CIT HALL DOORS
Pressure
The maximum allowable force for pushing or pulling open a door is
8.5 lbs. for exterior doors and 5 lb. for interior doors. The pulling "
force required to open each Cit Hall door was measured, and is
recorded below. Many exceeded he limit. This problem may be alleviated
in some cases by a tension adju tment to the existing door - closing
mechanism. Where an adjustment cannot be made, a new door - closing
mechanism is required. An alte native solution is to leave doors propped
open, where allowed by the Fire Code. The force required to open City
Hall doors is a frequent complaint of City Hall employees.

Design
SWINGING DOUBLE DOORS - -on second and third floors are too narrow. Existing
width of each door is 28 ", at least one door must provide, by
itself, a 32" opening.
Interim measure: leave bo h doors open for meetings.
Permanent Solution:--Possibilities: (a) Removal of doors,
(b) redesign to provide onedoor, (c) redesign to widen one -half
and narrow other door.
52
BATHROOM DOORWAYS (second floor Men's Room and
third floor Women's Room)
Entrancewaysto both bathrooms are designed with a long,
narrow approach (see diagram) combined with an inward -
opening door. It can be difficult to open these doors
and maneuver a wheelchair simultaneously.
The narrow entranceway is necessitated by the existence of an
elevator shaft on one side and a heating duct on the other
side, and cannot be widened. ANSI requirements for door
opening are not met by the present arrangement, and were
not met at the time of renovation in 1983. Possibilities
for alteration of this difficulty may include:
(a) Reversing the door to open out into the hallway
(if not counter to fire code requirements).
(b) Installation of a sliding door.
(c) Redesign of the entire entranceway to shorten
the long, narrow corridor.
(d) Reduced door tension.
(e) Placement of the door at the other end of the narrow
corridor. [sea diabTa =.]

p
-Ir
The problem is exacerbated by the excessive force required to
open the door (11.5 lbs). It is recommended that the door - closer
be either adjusted or replaced to correct to the 5 lb. maximum in
the near future. When funds are available, diagram (e) is the
recommended long -term solution.

CHAPTER VII. SOGGESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS
Public input was solicited by a mailing to 127 individ-
uals, agencies, and organizations interested in the issue of handicapped
accessibility, public service announcements sent to 14 broadcast and print
media, and front page coverage in the Ithaca Journal. Assistance and
guidance were provided by Toff pkins County Advocates for the Handi-
capped.
A public meeting
and
on handicapped accessibility was held
on July 25, 1985, attended by E
City
officials, 22 members
of the public,
and 4 reporters. Phone or letter
responses were received
from approxi-
mately 25 individuals. [Mailin
lists
and responses are on
file.]
Following is
a list
of the complaints and
suggestions
received:
LIST
OF COMPLAINTS
Curb cuts were the most frequently cited problem. In the
winter curb cuts are not shove led or are re- covered by the snow plows.
Requests for expansion of curb cut program to entire city.
Specific requests included:

* Challenge
* Curb Reveal
Some curb cuts, either due to improper construction or uneven
settling, exceed the maximum 5/8" lip or reveal, specified in the ANSI
standards, rendering them useless. Specific curb cuts mentioned include
the SE corner of Buffalo and Tioga St. , the SE corner of State and Aurora
St.
* Parking
* -- Enforcement is a problem at handicapped- designated spaces. Suggest
* increased fines for violators. Suggestion that "By Permit Only" be added
to signs.
--Need for closer, accessible parking at polling places on Election
Day.
-- Parking spaces, where possible, should be wider and longer.
- -Not all City lots have designated spaces.
-- Meters in the Miller's lot are difficult to reach.
-- Requests for new designated spaces:
** (1) West End of Commons
(2) Green and Cayuga
* (3) DeWitt Mall
(4) Additional space at Cass Park Pool (I request)
(5) .Near Ramada Inn (I request)
71
* (6) Hall of Justice
(7) Central Fire
Station Lot
* (8) East End
of Commons
* (9) Municipal
lot behind Woolworth's; move spot
closer to
door.
(10) Farmer's
Market
* Snow Removal
Snow removal from sidewalks,
curb cuts and bus shelters.
Building Permits
Building permits should
be more closely monitored for compliance
with handicapped accessibility ' r
gulations. Permits for new construction and
renovation should not be granted
unless plans show compliance with new
State regulations.
* Signs
Raised lettering and/or
braille on downtown street signs, restroom
doors, and office doors.
Cross walk & Traffic
Lights
* - -Green & Cayuga St
; not enough time to cross.
* -- Request for audible
walk notice for visually handicapped;
particularly
at Green and Cayuga Sts.
- -Tioga and Green; move
light to exit booth of parking lot or
in front of
Woolworth's for easier crossing.
* - -State St. near Chal
enge Industries is a dangerous inter-
section, pa
ticularly with the faster - moving traffic
due to re pa
ing of State Street.
72
-- Ithaca Commons; Deep grooves in the conrete and
large holes in grates are problems.
Grate grooving should run perpendic-
ular to the major direction of
pedestrian traffic.
- -Right turn on red lights -- vehicles fail to yield to
pedestrians at Cayuga and Green Sts.
Slopes
Check slope of the Commons S Cayuga St. near Corner Book
Store. It banks toward the street, making it difficult to navigate. The
Albany Street bridge too steep.
* Stewart Park
Bathrooms are not accessible. Picnic tables: -- remove embarrassing
sign at ends of picnic tables. Bridge approaches are 'stepped' and too
steep for handicapped use.
Shopping
Ramp at DeWitt Mall too steep. No accessible bathrooms at DeWitt
Mall. (Neither of these is required to be altered unless renovation construc-
tion is taking place.)
Farmer's Market is not accessible.
* Provide incentive for local businesses to become more accessible.
Central Fire Station
Front entrance is not accessible. There is a sign directing
handicapped to rear entrance, but handicapped must then move a long dis-
tance around the block to reach the rear entrance.
73
i
i
Transportation
i
* City bus system not accessible. Neither City buses nor
* Gadabout operates at night. Gadabout does not operate on weekends,
and must be reserved in advance. City buses don't run frequently
enough.
* Lack of taxi service - -only one company, which does not always
answer the telephone, is often late, and will not take advance reservations.
t
Suggestion for a tax medallion system for individual drivers.
Taxis should charge by distanc4, not by zone.
I
Post Office
i
While not a City builJing, City should pressure Post Office to
provide accessibility.
Benches
i
Request from elderly for more benches to rest on walks around
the City.
There is no bench a� City bus stop near the Greyhound Bus
Station.
Housing
Lack of affordable, accessible housing. The handicapped- acces-
sible apartments at Henry St. John's are too expensive.
Door Pressure
The door pressures in City Hall are too tight.
*
Telephone Devices for the Deaf (TDD)
Requested, particularly for emergencies.
74
a
Smoking
Smoking in public buildings, particularly City Hall, can present
severe health hazard for some individuals.
Training
Suggestion that the City provide situations for employment train-
ing for physically and developmentally disabled.
Training sessions for City employees to increase awareness of
handicapped accessibility.
* Public Restrooms
Needed downtown. Center Ithaca should have accessible bathrooms.
* Challenge Industries
Concern over lack of safety for all pedestrians at the bottom of
the State Street Hill, particularly since installation of the new pavement.
Request for a needs assessment of the intersection, including pedestrian
crosswalks, curb cuts, and traffic control.
* Indicates more frequently cited complaint.

CHAPTER VI
I
I. TRANSITION PLAN
AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Chapter VII
I
. contains a transition plan for improved
handicapped accessibility. General
recommendaitons are addressed, followed
by an itemized list of specific st
uctural changes, including gross cost
estimates. Costs were estimated
by City Engineer Peter Novelli, and should
be utilized as merely order -of- magnitude
approximations, not as researched,
fixed figures. Each item is also
assigned a priority ranking. Factors
considered in establishment of priorities
included need, public demand,
extent of use, and cost. The following
rating system was utilized:
Priority
Rating System ^�
(1) Top Priority -- require
by Code, not a major expense,
and /or high usage area.
(2) Medium Priority--situation
presents difficulty; may be
required, but presents
a major expense, and /or is in
y.
a low -usage area.
(3) Lower Priority- -not required
by law, but would ease
accessibility, or may
have been satisfactory under
NYS Code when built,
but is not up to new standards.
(4) [a] Should be consid
red only if specifically requested
by residents, or [b]
Extremely expensive -- desirable
in the future if fundirig
is available.
The transition plan includes
a listing of the building (or facility)
being addressed, the specific recommendations
for change, a priority ranking
and a gross cost estimate for each
recommendation, and the number of the
76
associated survey to examine for a more complete description of the Item
(see Chapters VI and VII). City buildings are listed first, followed by
streets and facilities including crosswalks and walkways, curb cuts, park-
ing, signage, telephone service, public restrooms, businesses and transpor-
tation. Aids for the visually impaired are also included as a separate
topic. City parks are addressed both in a separate section and in the
itemized transition plan.
Attitude
This self - evaluation and transition plan focuses on tangible program-
matic and structural factors, all of which are important in making our City
more accessible to all of its citizens. The most important change that can
be made, however, is one of attitude. Full accessibility will only be achieved
when it becomes a natural part of the public consciousness to consider the
impact of all public decisions on the disabled. Public servants, at each
step of the way, from the initial planning through program or structural
design, on to the decision- making stage, during the implementation or con-
struction, through to the use and maintenance of the program or facility,
must realize and account for those who are not as physically or mentally
able. The attitude must shift from one of afterthought to one of realiza-
tion that all deserve access to our public life, and that all includes our
children, our elderly, and our disabled.
Future Projects
The additional cost of designing a new program or a new building
to accommodate the disabled is minimal. It has been estimated by Ronald
Mace of Barrier -Free Environments as zero, and by Stanley Stavinski of
77
the Eastern Paralyzed Veterans
ssociation as 1/2
of I per
cent. (Progres-
sive Architecture, July 1985) . A
one -time design
change is certainly
less expensive than years of pay
ents to people who must
otherwise aid
the disabled.
The process of retrofitti
g programs and
buildings
should be viewed
as something that must be done
nce. New construction should anticipate
problems of accessibility and inc
rporate solutions
into the
initial design
phases.
78
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
All Literature -- should include information on how handicapped will
be served, if different from main program.
Programmatic Changes - -to accommodate handicapped should always
be explored before assuming that structural changes are necessary.
Design of any City program or service should consider implications
on the handicapped. It is simpler, the effect is more immediate, and the
costs are lower when a program or service is designed at the outset with these
considerations than having to go back and retrofit. However, where
programmatic changes are made, the policies should be clarified in writing
and made part of relevant literature, job descriptions, ordinances, or
manuals. Recommended changes of this type include the following:
Job Descriptions in the City
Clerk's Office should include
provision of assistance to
handicapped in reaching
less- accessible City Hall
offices.
Specify on the City Bus
Schedule the handicapped -
accessible locations where all
types of tokens may be pur-
chased.
Building Design and Renovation -- Design should consider structural
implications from the design phase. Do not assume that the architect will
consider everything. Appropriate persons on City staff in the Building
Department, the engineering office, and in other appropriate departments,
should become and remain familiar with the State of New York and ANSI
standards, and should review plans for handicapped accessibility before con-
struction. This applies both to City projects and to approval of building
permits for private construction. 79
M
In- Service Training--Kathleen Donovan, Coordinator of Disabled
Services for Cornell University, would volunteer services to provide several
small training sessions for City mployees. Two types of sessions would
be most relevant. One would be for those City employees with the most
direct public contact, and would focus on staff awareness. The other would
be for City employees involved ii the planning, design, and implementation
of public works. It would focus on the importance of removing barriers
to handicapped accessiblity at each of the stages of a project - -from planning,
through drawings, to construction and maintenance. It is recommended
that the City avail itself of this service. Implementation and enforcement
of regulations for handicapped a cessibility will not be complete until all
associated with the building process have absorbed and integrated the
new codes into all of their work
Auxiliary Aides - -It is recommended that the City establish and main-
tain a list of available auxiliary aids including:
- -a list f braille interpreters
- -a list Df sign language interpreters,
- -use of equipment to aid the
visually impaired, such as braille
writers or large type typewriters.
This ould possibly be arranged
throucih Shot -in- the -Dark.
Signage- -Signs with raised letters according to ANSI standards,
§ 4.30, should be used in any new construction. Braille would be desir-
able, as well, dependent upon c st and availability. Representatives of
the visually impaired have requested that highest priority for new signage
be given to downtown street sig s and all rest room doors (to distinguish
men's and women's rest rooms) , and then to office doors, particularly at
City Hall. Raised lettering is preferred to indented.
80
Signage-- Contd.
-- Downtown signage to include 12 -15 intersections
-- Bathroom doors to include the following:
# of
Doors Location
3 City Hall
2 Hall of Justice
2 Stewart Park
8 Cass Park
4 G.1.A.C.
2 Southside
21 Doors
Transportation
Handicapped accessibility of City transportation was reviewed in
1980 under separate Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Based
on a DOT determination that City contribution to a demand - responsive
system making use of 16 -B -2 vehicles was an acceptable method for communi-
ties of our size to meet the Sec. 504 requirements, the City decided to
contract with Gadabout to provide transportation services.
Many complaints were received about the lack of available public
transportation during evening and week -end hours. The problem is
exacerbated by the lack of availability of reliable taxi service. It is recom-
mended that the City investigate further the possibility of expansion of
transportation services during evening and week -end hours, either through
Gadabout or other means. Methods of increasing the availability of taxi
service to all should also be investigated.
81
CITY
OF ITHACA
Handicapped �ccess to City Parks
The Ithaca, N.Y. General Plan (1971) divided City Parks and Open
Space into categories by type of use. Four of those categories (Community
Parks, Special Facilities, Neighborhood Parks, and Undeveloped Open Space)
are traditionally conceived as "parks," and were further considered by this
study. The other were either not under control of the City of Ithaca (school
playgrounds} -not developed as park space -- (neighborhood commons, water-
ways, connections) or were duplicated elsewhere in the study, (focal points,
indoor facilities) . Those parts co sidered by this study are listed on page
84. rl
Due to the topography nd to the nature of some of the recrea-
tional activities, all sections of all arks cannot be made fully accessible to
all individuals with severe mobility impairments.
Reasonable goals for thE short and long -term futures should be
worked out in consultation with thE handicapped community and neighborhood
residents. Feedback received from the handicapped community suggests that
the Community Parks (Cass Parka d Stewart Park) should receive the high-
est priority. No comments were received concerning neighborhood parks,
special facilities, or undeveloped open space.
Community Parks
It is recommended that the City adopt a short -term goal of provid-
ing accessibility to the community parks. Suggestions for change may be
found in surveys #9 and #12.
M
W
Neighborhood Parks
Suggestions are given for long -range planning to provide
accessibility to at least one section of each neighborhood park. These
are prioritized as follows: A rating of 2 indicates that only a minor
change is needed; a rating of 3 indicates a minor change which may be
utilized by nearby residents, and a rating of 4 indicates either that the
change is major, or that it will only serve immediate neighbors. (The
City may consider only scheduling these changes at the request of the
neighborhood.)
Undeveloped Open Space
It would not be practical to provide handicapped accessibility
into undeveloped open spaces. Once entered, these spaces require
mobility for use.
Special Facilities
Brindley Park, although classified as a special facility, is a
waterway space and is not developed with pathways or with nearby park-
ing. There have been no requests to provide accessibility either to
Brindley Park or to the Municipal Golf Course.
