6. Parking Policy for Persons with Disabilities — DiscussiW- J-,e4,e J 1 I iz to o
by 13 Pal
Handicap Parking Policy
Legal Requirements: The federal rules and regulations enacted for the implementation of title III
of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the New York State Building Code, contain
requirements for places of public accommodation and commercial facilities. The requirements
address accessible parking spaces in lots or garages. For parking of I to 2S spaces, the minimum
accessible spaces required is one (1). The requirements index up from there and represent
approximately two percent of the spaces. There are no requirements to provide accessible spaces
where no other parking spaces are required. There is no requirement to provide accessible space
"on street."
City Provision for Off Street Accessible Parking The city's lots will meet at least the minimum
standards set by law in all cases. The actual provision of spaces will be based on reasonable
accommodation, considering demand, cost to provide, physical constraints, and utilization factors,
among others. Spaces may be relocated, added or reduced based on these factors and laws in
effect.
City Provision for On Street Handicap Parking_ The use of on street handicap parking is
considered a partial accnmmodation becauJe the spaces generally do not meet the physical
requirements for accessible spaces. The central business district contains a large concentration of
commercial and public facilities which do not provide their own off street parking. Municipal
parking facilities are reasonably distributed. However, the use of on street handicap spaces within
the areas of high parking demand in the business districts can provide greater accessibility and
convenience.
For the purposes of this policy, high demand areas in business districts will be taken as any
area with metered parking. Since there is no requirement for on street handicap spaces, there are
no minimum number of spaces. The actual provision of spaces will be based on reasonable
accommodations and the same factors considered for off - street accessible spaces. Spaces may be
relocated, added or reduced based on these factors. Additional consideration will be given to
safety issues associated with the location and use of the handicapped spaces since they are not
fully accessible spaces.
Requests for On Street Handicap Parking in Residential Areas: The city does not provide on
street handicap parking for private use. Individuals with special needs are expected to take those
needs into consideration when they make their housing decisions. However, the city has a policy
to encourage home ownership. The city has provided, on street handicap parking in residential
areas on a very limited basis. The following criteria must.be met to be considered an exceptional_
case which might warrant designation for signage:
1. The property must be owner occupied with a long standing commitment to home
ownership and the city. The property must have no off street parking.
2. The condition, which warrants consideration for handicap status could not reasonably
have been anticipated at the time housing arrangements were made.
Page 3

Pale 2
Handicap Parking Policy
3. A period of home ownership at the same address for a span of 15 years is adequate to
meet the requirements for 1 and 2 above.
4. The request must be accompanied by proof of handicap status for parking purposes
recognized by New York State.
5. If the property is capable of having off street parking under zoning codes, the request
must include a statement concerning the duration of the request and why a curb
cut for off street parking is not being requested instead.
6. The request will include a two hundred dollar ($200) deposit for the installation of
signage which will cover up to five years of installation. Any sign maintenance
requested will be charged at cost.
7. The property owner will submit a doctor's note or proof of New York State handicap
status annually (January of each succeeding year) in order to keep the permit valid,
and agrees to notify they city within two months of the time the signs are no longer
warranted.

DAC DRAFT 10/7/09 - (to revise "Handicap Parking Policy' adopted by BPW on 1/12/00)
City of Ithaca Parking Policy for Persons with Disabilities
Adopted by the Board of Public Works on
Purpose: The City of Ithaca strives to provide convenient parking options for
persons with disabilities while balancing the exclusive use of such parking
spaces with the needs of the general public. To guide the provision of such
parking options, the following parking policy has been developed and adopted.
Legal Requirements: The federal rules and regulations enacted for the
implementation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New
York State Building Code contain accessibility requirements for places of public
accommodation and commercial facilities, including accessible parking spaces in
parking lots and parking garages. For parking areas of 1 to 25 spaces, at least one
(1) accessible space is required. The requirements index up from there, and
represent approximately two percent of the spaces. There are no requirements to
provide accessible spaces where no other parking spaces are provided or
required. There is no requirement to provide accessible spaces "on street."
Citv of Ithaca Provision for Off - Street Accessible Parkin: The Citv's parking lots
and parking garages will meet at least the minimum standards set by law in all
cases. The actual provision of spaces beyond the minimum required will be
based on reasonable accommodation considering demand, cost to provide,
physical constraints, and utilization factors, among others. Spaces may be
relocated, added or reduced based on these factors and laws in effect.
City of Ithaca Provision for On- Street, Reserved Parking for Persons with
Disabilities (RPPD): The use of on- street, reserved parking for persons with
disabilities is considered a partial accommodation because the spaces generally
do not meet the requirements for accessible spaces (e.g., they do not have access
aisles or they may not be proximate to a curb ramp). The Central Business
District (and to a lesser extent other business districts, such as Collegetown and
the West End) contains a concentration of commercial and public facilities which
are not required to provide off street parking, or, consequently, accessible
parking. Municipal parking garages and lots do provide accessible parking
spaces and are reasonably distributed. However, the use of on- street, reserved
parking spaces for persons with disabilities within the areas of high parking
demand in business districts can provide a greater level of accommodation and
convenience for some persons with disabilities who do not require fully
accessible parking spaces.
For the purposes of this policy, high parking demand areas in business districts
will be taken as any area with metered parking. Since there is no requirement for
on- street, accessible parking spaces, there is no minimum number of spaces. The
actual provision of reserved spaces will be based on public requests, reasonable
accommodations and the same factors considered for off - street accessible spaces.
Page 1 of 2
DAC DRAFT 10/7/09 - (to revise "Handicap Parking Policy" adopted by BPW on 1/12/00)
Spaces may be relocated, added or reduced based on these factors. Additional
consideration will be given to safety issues associated with the location and use
of the reserved spaces since they are not fully accessible spaces.
Requests for On- Street, Reserved Parking for Persons with Disabilities (RPPD)
Spaces in Residential Areas: The City of Ithaca provides on- street, RPPD in
residential areas on a very limited basis. The following criteria must be met to
consider an on- street parking space for RPPD designation:
1. The request must be accompanied by the applicant's valid proof of
permanent disability status for parking purposes recognized by New York
State in accordance with Section 1203 (a -d) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic
Law.
2. If the applicant's (rented or owned) place of residence is capable of having
off - street parking under zoning codes, the request must include a
statement concerning the duration of the request and why a curb cut for
off - street parking is not being requested instead. If the residence currently
has off - street parking available, the request must include a statement
concerning why the applicant's accessibility needs cannot be met through
modification of the existing parking area.
The Office of the City Engineer will create an application form for requests for
on- street, reserved parking for people with disabilities. Upon application, staff
will evaluate the request. If the request meets the above criteria and if it poses no
traffic safety problem in the opinion of the City Transportation Engineer, then
the City Transportation Engineer shall forward the request to the Board of Public
Works for consideration and may include a recommendation. If the request does
not meet the above criteria or if it poses a traffic safety problem in the opinion of
the City Transportation Engineer, then the City Transportation Engineer shall
deny the request. The applicant shall have the right to appeal this decision to the
Board of Public Works in writing.
If the request is granted by the Board of Public Works, the RPPD signs will be
installed and maintained for five (5) years, at which time the request must be
renewed or the signs may be removed. If the applicant moves or if the RPPD
signs are no longer needed for some reason, the applicant shall agree to notify
the City of Ithaca within a month of the time that the RPPD signs are no longer
needed so that the signs may be removed. It should be noted that an on- street,
RPPD parking space is not reserved for the applicant or any specific person, but
is available to Amy person with a valid parking permit for people with
disabilities.

2010 Vehicle and Traffic Schedule Update — Discussion
To: Board of Public Works
From: Tim Logue, Transportation Engineer
Date: December 18, 2009
Re: Updates to the Vehicle and Traffic Schedules of Traffic Regulations
Please find attached a resolution to adopt an entire set of Vehicle and Traffic
Schedules and a set of Schedules to adopt. Over the past few years, staff has been
working to update sections of the Schedules a few at a time, as workload allows.
In more recent conversations with the City Clerk and the Superintendent, we've
decided to recommend that the Board adopt a full set, knowing that some
sections have not been field checked or corrected yet. We will continue to review
the Schedules and to -propose amendments, but with this full update, we can
begin to publish them with the City Code. If anything catches your eye to edit,
now or in the future, please let me know.
Two sections that I would like to note are Schedule X, Trucks Excluded, and
Schedule XXVIII, Alternate Meter Parking. Schedule X excludes all trucks,
commercial vehicles, tractors and tractor - trailer combinations from a set of
streets, without any exceptions for local deliveries and without any thresholds
for weight or any other factor. Though the definition of commercial vehicle is
"reserved" in the City's Vehicle and Traffic Law, the New York State Vehicle and
Traffic Law defines a commercial vehicle as "a motor vehicle used for business
purposes." This leads me to think that according to our City Code, it would be
unlawful to deliver a pizza to Cascadilla Street or to have a plumber drive to
Buffalo Street or to have a home health nurse drive to Wood Street. Based on this
conclusion, I would recommend that you delete the entries in that section.
I don't know what was the purpose of Schedule XXVIII, Alternate Meter Parking,
and I'm not sure I even understand it but I don't see any reason to keep in on the
bOOks, sO I recommend that you delete the entries in that section.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION
December 2009
To Adopt Vehicle and Traffic Schedules
WHEREAS, the Board of public Works is authorized by Section 346 -4 of the City
Code to adopt and to amend a system of Schedules in order to administer the
Vehicle and Traffic Law, and
WHEREAS, the Schedules have not been published as part of the City Code in
many years because they are in need of review and update, and
WHEREAS, the Office of the City Engineer has been carrying out this review and
update, and the Board has amended a number of Schedules in the past few
years, and
WHEREAS, staff recommends to the Board that the full set of Vehicle and Traffic
Schedules be adopted and published and that staff should continue to review
and propose amendments to the Board of Public Works in order to properly
publish the Schedules, and
WHEREAS, it is noted that Article 24 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic
Law essentially states that the traffic control devices currently in place are
presumed to be the official regulation regardless of what has been adopted on
paper, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Board of Public Works hereby adopts the attached Vehicle
and Traffic Schedules, dated December 17, 2009.
