Prepared by Planning Consultant Carol Chock, under direction of the City's Section 504 Program Coordinator H. M. Van Cort, the Report satisfied requirements of The Revenue Sharing Act of 1972, as amended in 1976 and the handicapped discrimination prohibitions of Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1983. Prepared after final regulations were published by the Office of Revenue Sharing, (ORS), (October 1983), the Report follows ORS suggested format. Components include: 1) Designation of a responsible employee as Section 504 Program Coordinator. (H.M. Van Cort, Director of Planning and Development was appointed Program Coordinator, January 17, 1984.) 2) Public notice of a local policy against discrimination of individuals with disabilities. (Notice was published in Ithaca Journal on January 17, 1984.) 3) Adoption of a grievance procedure. ( A grievance procedure was adopted by Common Council August 7, 1985.) 4) A self - evaluation concerning programs and activities, policies and practices. (The self - evaluation was completed as part of the 1985 Report.) 5) A transition plan identifying physical obstacles in government facilities that limit the accessibility of programs to people with disabilities and a detailed description of methods to be employed to make facilities accessible. (The transition plan was completed as part of 1985 Report). The study that follows has been prepared under the direction of Mayor Ben Nichols at the request of the Disability Advisory Council and is meant to assess the extent of the City's follow -up to recommendations in the 1985 transition plan, (pps. T1 - T12 of the Report). The scope of this follow -up is limited.to accessibility of City -owned property used by the public including buildings, parking garages, ground -level lots, parks and all City streets, sidewalks and curbs. Whereas ORS also requires that programs provided by secondary recipients be made accessible to individuals with disabilities, this information was not made part of the original transition plan and is not part of this follow -up. This study should be reviewed in conjunction with more detailed information presented in the 1985 Report. The follow -up assessment began with the preparation of a questionnaire and distribution to staff responsible for City facilities. A copy of the 1985 transition plan was included with the mailing. Both the i 2 questionnaire and the 1985 transition plan are in the Appendices. Each questionnaire is keyed to an original survey number, 1 -13 *, as presented in the transition plan. Following Survey #13, the transition plan goes on to include general issues raised by the public about Crosswalks and Walkways, Curb Cuts, Parking, Signage for Visually Impaired, Telephone Service to Hearing Impaired, Public Restrooms, and Aids for the Visually Impaired. These forms are numbered 14 -20. While interpreting information presented in the follow -up study please note the following: Priority levels are defined in the 1985 transition plan as follows: (1) Top Priority -- required by Code, not a major expense and /or a high usage area. (2) Medium Priority -- situation presents 7 difficulty. May be required but presents a major expense and /or is in a low -usage area. (3) Lower Priority - -not required by law, but would ease accessibility. May have met Code when built but is not up to new standards. (4) Implementation is extremely expensive. Should be considered only if specifically requested by residents. Desirable in the future if funding is available. The term "no response" indicates lack of any comment returned on the questionnaire. The term "No action taken" indicates that a recommendation was considered but not implemented. Original responses to follow -up questionnaires are on file in the Department of Planning and Development. In most cases, all information given by respondents is included on the follow -up survey form. The response from Lynn Gifford, Junior Engineer, however, contains detailed information and is included as Appendix iii. Copies of the 1985 Report on Accessibility of City Programs, Activities, Services, and Facilities to the Handicapped and copies of this follow -up study are available at the Department of Planing and Development. Neither the Report or the study evaluate potential new requirements accompanying the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. * There was no response to Survey #12, Stewart Park. A needs assessment, developed by the Disability Advisory Council in ' the summer of 1991 and submitted to Assistant Superintendent of Public Works Rick Ferrell, is included as Appendix iv. v E3 3 Accessibility Survey update January 1992 NAME OF FACILITY Central Fire Station - Survey #1 RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENT Fire Department DATE 12113191 RESPONDENT Ed Olmstead* Recommendation #1..

No Estimate Assessment of State /Seneca /Green intersection Rebuilt The entire intersection was rebuilt after evaluation No Estimate Assess slope and banking of Cayuga St Problem isn't clear No Estimate Audible Crossing Signal for Green Cayuga Not Done Questionable Feasibility City Traffic Engineer is not aware of any current installations anywhere in the US - -not listed in traffic manual - -no known manufacturers or recorded track record. Would require extensive, careful evaluation - -if considered after evaluation, it would be an extremely high liability risk for the City -- difficult to defend in Court (mostly because it would be very unusual). Could be evaluated for 4 -way stop intersections only. No Estimate (Detailed Evaluation Necessary to Provide Estimate) Replace Commons Drain Grates Not Done Alternate Bid Item for Ithaca Commons Renovation Project. Project was postponed- -scope of work and construction schedule will be reevaluated, therefore new drain grates may not be included in the revised project. Estimate: Bids received in Fall 1991 ranged from $8000 to $27,000 Fill in Commons Grooves Not Feasible Not aware of any practical solution to remedy existing grooves.

Access to grass ballfield would require paved path in the park along Adams St and building all ramps at Auburn /Adams but one and all ramps at Dey /Adams Ithaca Falls Lake and Fall St Somewhat Feasible Owned by Cornell, maintained by City according to Dan Schmohe Could do ramp across from Falls St and ramp at NW corner Falls /Lake- -but dangerous crossing. Could pave path in park -- already well worn. 3 benches near bridge. A handicapped parking space may work well on the east side of Lake St-- fairly expensive -- enforcement should be considered Thompson between Casc. Creek, Cayuga and Madison Accessible All suggested ramps were built -- except at Madison Bridge which is closed to pedestrians Conway between Cascadilla St, Fourth and Madison Accessible - -More improvements feasible Don't know if ramp at west corner of park was rebuilt since 1985 - -if not, need to know specifically what's wrong with it. Curb cuts were built to provide access across Cascadilla to Park St. Two ramps are needed at Casc /Fourth. Mid -block entrance proposed would be on Madison St not Hancock -- however it's not feasible anyway - -a mid -block crossing is generally hazardous and not recommended. There's also a fence close to the curb and no fence along Madison St. Washington between Washington, Park, Court, and Buffalo Accessible Only suggested improvement would be to provide paved path from public walk to seating areas Wood SE corner of Wood /Meadow intersection Not Accessible -- Feasible Build ramp from parking area to seating area and to spectator area for baseball field - -build paved walk along parking area -- Suggested mid -block crossing may be a hazard -- requires investigation Baker between Elmira, Court, Plain Accessible Suggested mid -block crossing on Park St not appropriate - -only possible improvement would be paved paths to seating areas, although the park benches are moved around extensively I" Southside East side of Plain between Green and Clinton Accessible No recommendations - -fence was removed, lot regraded and playground rebuilt- - seating /supervision area is accessible MacDaniels SE corner of Warren /Hook intersection Not accessible -- somewhat feasible Most of the park is Volling hills but the portion near Hook P1 could be made accessible if a path and handicapped parking were built -- expensive and an enforcement issue PAGE T -11 AIDS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED Curb Accents Paint Public Steps Curb Accents at Bus Shelters Paint Outline Around Commons Gratings Not Done Not Done Not Done Not Done Current staffing levels do not allow time for every crosswalk to be painted -- painting curbs without additional staff would result in more unpainted crosswalks (not desirable). For estimated cost, assume 50 intersections with 4 ramps per intersection, 30 bus stops, 10 benches, all inlets on Commons would be hand painted yearly. The work would require two seasonal laborers for 1 month every year plus material costs. Estimate: $4000 /year Appendix iv Stewart Park Needs Assessment 7/24/91 To: Rick Farrell From: Disability Advisory Council Mr. Farrell, Enclosed is a copy of a limited needs assessment of Stewart Park. While I'm sure there will be some changes I would like you to have this to give you some idea of what needs to be done to make the park more accessible to all. Jon W. Merritt Stewart Park Needs Assessment 1. Parking (Appropriate number will will be determined by scaling maps that have not arrived from the city.) a) We suggest more appropriate parking in liew of the more expensive alternative of building sidewalks to connect all areas of the park. b) Inclusion of more disabled parking along the east and west drives of the park. c) Parking at the tennis court area, and at lake front. .. _ 2. Crew Dock Bathroom a) At this time the ramp is not to code and there are some design problems in the bathrooms. 3. Curb Cuts a) At the present time access to all grassy areas is limited /nonexistent. A large number of curb cuts will need to be installed to make the park accessible. 4. Area between the big pavilion and the building to the east. a) Telephone- Lowering of phone to the required height and reach measurements. Provide curb cut to access the phone. b) Provide and mark with proper signage an accessible route along the lakefront side of the big pavilion to the accessible bathrooms. (The current route has some severe surface condition problems.) 5. Snack Bar a) Move soda machines to provide wheelchair access. b) Limit reserved parking to15 minutes. (Make this area for delivery only.) Doing this would keep people from parking long term. Parking in this area blocks the only wheelchair access to the snack bar. aa 6. Drinking Fountains a) Provide smooth surface around drinking fountains. b) Provide uniform height for fountains. c) Provide handles to operate fountains that are useable by all. �- 7. Provide wider entrances to tennis courts. 8. Foot Bridges a) Re amp bridge approaches with appropriate slopes. 9. Grill Heights a) Grill heights were discussed. Two problems occured: 1) Grill heights varied and, 2) How would lowered grills be signed. The possibility of an adjustable grill was mentioned. LA d y
