Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT TRANSITION PLAN

St. Louis County, Missouri

March 2023

1. INTRODUCTION & LEGISLATIVE MANDATE

A. INTRODUCTION

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a comprehensive civil rights law providing protections for persons with disabilities in both employment and the provision of goods and services. The ADA states that its purpose is to provide a "clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities." The ADA seeks to dispel assumptions about disabilities and to assure equality of opportunity. The ADA prohibits discrimination in access to jobs, public accommodations, government services, public transportation, and telecommunications.

Access to civic life by people with disabilities is a fundamental goal of the ADA. To guarantee that this goal is met, Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to make their programs and services accessible to persons with disabilities (28 Code of Federal Regulations 35.149-35.151). This requirement extends not only to physical access at government facilities, programs, and events -- but also to pedestrian facilities in public rights-of-way.

This ADA Transition Plan identifies a work plan to remove barriers over time by addressing compliance of pedestrian facilities in the public rights-of-way through specific projects in response to expectations set forth in Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The Department of Transportation and Public Works also maintains 35 owned buildings and 17 leased spaces. The Department is in a constant state of renovation and adapting to current best practices. All new renovations undergo strict ADA compliance review and comply with the ADA.

B. LEGISLATIVE MANDATE

The development of a Transition Plan is a requirement of the federal regulations implementing the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which require that all organizations receiving federal funds make their programs available without discrimination toward people with disabilities. The Act, which has become known as the "civil rights act" of persons with disabilities, states that:

“No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United States shall, solely by reason of handicap, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be

subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” (Section 504)

Subsequent to the enactment of the Rehabilitation Act, Congress passed the ADA on July 26, 1990. Title II of the ADA covers programs, activities, and services of public entities. The Department of Justice's Title II regulation adopts the general prohibitions of discrimination established under Section 504 and incorporates specific prohibitions of discrimination for the ADA. Title II provides protections to individuals with disabilities that are at least equal to those provided by the nondiscrimination provisions of Title V of the Rehabilitation Act.

Title II of the ADA provides that public entities must identify and evaluate all programs, activities, and services and review all policies, practices, and procedures that govern administration of the entity's programs, activities, and services. This report establishes an ADA Transition Plan, focused specifically upon pedestrian access and public rights-of-way.

2. POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES A. OVERVIEW

This document is the ADA Transition Plan policy for the St. Louis County Department of Transportation and Public Works. The Department performed a self-evaluation of existing Arterial and Collector pedestrian facilities within the right-of-way between 2011 and 2015 to establish a baseline for required improvements in the public roadway right-of-way. The Department will be completing evaluations of our building facilities in 2024.

The following policies, procedures, and practices have been adopted by St. Louis County for ADA compliance:

1. St. Louis County government’s assurance that persons with disabilities have access to all its programs, services, activities, and employment process can be found on the County government website at:

https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-departments/administration/personnel/adadisabilities/

2. The St. Louis County government ADA/Disabilities webpage contains a public Notice under the ADA, forms to request accommodation or to register accessibility complaints, an ADA grievance procedure guidance together with links to the Commission on Disabilities, the Access and Functional Needs Registry, and Transportation Matrix.

3. New pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way will be completed in a manner that, to the maximum extent practicable, complies with current ADA access requirements.

4. Alterations to existing pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way will be completed in a manner that, to the maximum extent practicable, complies with current ADA access requirements.

5. The St. Louis County Department of Transportation and Public Works will publish and maintain an ADA transition plan to bring existing facilities into compliance with ADA requirements.

6. The Department adopted the Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (United States Access Board – July 2011), referenced as PROWAG, accessibility guidelines as currently recommended best practices for the public right-of- way, incorporating PROWAG into the Departments manuals and construction standard details in 2014.

7. St. Louis County has a designated ADA Coordinator and the Department’s Acting Director shall be the authority for all Transportation and Public Works roadway corridor matters. Contact information and forms can be found on the St. louis County website at:

https://stlouiscountymo.gov/st-louis-county-departments/administration/personnel/adadisabilities/

8. The Department assigns a high priority to the maintenance of accessible features in the pedestrian accessible corridor. Staff has a clear awareness of this policy and the means to act when a feature is discovered out of compliance.

9. The County solicits all engineering services contracts for transportation infrastructure with a provision specifically requiring compliance with Title II of the ADA.

10. The Department continuously provides staff training.

11. The Department is implementing a tracking system to log complaints received related to existing pedestrian accessible ADA facilities.

12. All future County building facility projects will be designed in accordance with current ADA accessibility standards.

13. All future potential leased facilities will be evaluated for ADA compliance in order to qualify for leased space.

14. All building evaluations will follow the four priorities in the Department of Justice ADA title II regulations.

a. Priority 1 - Accessible approach and entrance

b. Priority 2 - Access to goods and services

c. Priority 3 - Access to public toilet rooms

d. Priority 4 - Access to other items such as water fountains and public telephones

15. The Department will initiate ADA upgrades immediately in response to public feedback identifying accessibility deficiencies when funding permits.

16. The Department shall periodically review and update the ADA Transition Plan.

17. The ADA Transition Plan will be factored annually into the Department’s Capital Construction Program Appropriation Request for review and approval by the St. Louis County Council. The Department’s annual budget is subject to final approval of the Council.

B. LIVING DOCUMENT

In time, the ADA requirements will change due to case law and new regulations. The Department’s programs, services and activities will also change over time. When changes occur that impact the Department’s ADA implementation, this document is to be amended to address such updates. Action items can be incorporated in the ADA Transition Plan Implementation schedule and notes can be incorporated regarding the vetting process. In time, this document serves as a historical account of the changes made to serve, in an appropriate manner.

St. Louis County will continuously accept input on our Transition Plan and will use the comments received to shape changes to the Transition plan.

C. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE WORK PLAN

The Transportation Facilities ADA Transition Plan provides a five-year construction project program. Project scopes can include both existing pedestrian facility upgrades and consideration of new pedestrian facility improvements. The Implementation Schedule includes all programmed projects, including those without pedestrian facility impacts. This transition plan will be updated annually to document the Department’s good faith effort to comply with the ADA.

The Building Facilities ADA Transition Plan provides our current work plan to inventory and bring existing facilities up to ADA compliance.

3. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES ADA TRANSITION PLAN

A. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

The Department of Transportation and Public Works prioritizes ADA Transition Plan implementation for pedestrian facilities under St. Louis County maintenance within roadway right-of-way. The St. Louis County Action Plan for Walking and Biking recommendations for pedestrian and bicycle facilities along County corridors will also be considered during project development as some components have direct impact to existing facilities with ADA Transition Plan benefits.

During project planning, development, and scoping process, the Department will determine the scope of ADA Transition Plan improvements which can be incorporated. Considerations include:

1) Does the funding source support ADA Transition Plan improvements?

2) Historic impacts

3) Existing vs needed property rights

4) Opportunity cost, a.k.a., Benefit-Cost vs. other needs

5) Obstacles and Barriers to access

6) Topographic difficulties

7) Technically infeasible direct conflicts

The Department shall include ADA Transition Plan upgrade into future planned projects. However, the typical ADA scope of work will vary based on the type of project. Below are typical project types and scoping elements:

1) Pavement Preservation and Capital Improvement Projects ADA Scope

a. STP - Surface Transportation Program with federal funding participation:

i. Replace non-compliant curb ramps

ii. Correct non-compliant pedestrian access route slabs

iii. Remove obstacles or barriers to provide compliant pedestrian access

iv. Upgrade pedestrian signal infrastructure.

b. Concrete Replacement/Mill & Overlay Projects without Federal Funding

Participation:

i. Replace non-compliant curb ramps within existing rights-of-way.

ii. Non-compliant pedestrian access route slab offset correction in running direction.

c. Intermediate Pavement Preservation Projects (Crackseal, Seal Coat, Cape seal, etc.):

i. minimum ADA improvements as required by PROWAG.

2) Pedestrian Access Route Projects (Sidewalk and Shared Use Path)

a. Replace non-compliant curb ramps

b. Correct non-compliant pedestrian access route slabs

c. Remove obstacles or barriers to provide compliant pedestrian access

d. Upgrade pedestrian signal infrastructure.

3) Bridge and Culvert Projects

a. Correct non-compliant existing ADA facilities within disturbed area.

4) Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Projects

a. Disturbed ADA elements in the pedestrian access route will be replaced with compliant elements to the maximum extent practicable.

B. LONG TERM STRATEGIES

1) The Department is actively implementing a data management system for the storage, management, retrieval, and analysis of all data used to assess the performance of the Department’s ADA Transition Plan. Full implementation is scheduled in 2025.

2) The Department shall develop workflows for post-construction monitoring to regularly review its progress and expenditures on ADA transition plan compliance improvements implementation.

3) Each completed project with ADA component improvements will be inventoried to collect the number of curb ramps, pedestrian access route areas, and APS push button signal systems, constructed, modified, or removed.

4) The Department has not yet completed an ADA inventory of pedestrian facilities along local roadways, also known as subdivision streets. The Department will begin an inventory of pedestrian facilities along local roadways in 2023.

C. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

It is not financially feasible to immediately remove all barriers to access. The County’s workplan for future work will maximize ADA improvements as detailed above until all barriers have been addressed. The 5 year work plan detailed below will be updated annually to account for progress and to provide for inclusion of new information.

The County reserves the right to modify barrier removal priorities in order to allow flexibility in accommodating community requests, requests for reasonable modifications from persons with disabilities, changes in County programs, and funding constraints and opportunities. It is the goal of this Transition Plan to provide access to the programs, activities and services provided by the County. Interim measures will be explored and implemented in order to provide programmatic access to the public pending the implementation of physical barrier removal projects.

Based on our ADA Self Evaluation, we anticipate the cost to reach compliance as of December 2022 is $252 Million. The County anticipates approximately $4 Million/year in pedestrian ADA upgrades. Therefore, pedestrian access routes within St. Louis County maintained right of way should be fully compliant in 63 years. Note that spending for construction of new pedestrian facilities is in addition to ADA improvements. In addition to utilization of local funding, the County will seek additional funding through federal and state grants when available. The following chart details the countywide projects which are programmed to address improvements and the proposed schedule in years.

5. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES ADA SELF EVALUATION

A. METHODOLOGY TO SELF-EVALUATION

The method of conducting the self-evaluation for St. Louis County Department of Transportation and Public Works involved three key elements. This section discusses the approach used for each step:

1) Collection of physical data on the ADA compliance of public rights-of-way to include curb ramps, signals, island refuge locations and sidewalks.

2) A review of policies, practices, and procedures.

3) Barrier ranking of the inventory collected based on both activity level and impedance level of any ADA compliance issue identified.

B. DATA COLLECTION

In 2011, St. Louis County engaged Cole & Associates, Inc. to perform the County’s self-evaluation for pedestrian infrastructure along Arterial and Collector roadways within the public right-ofway. Cole completed their analysis and provided final deliverables to the County in 2017.

The technology utilized to collect ADA compliance data was originally developed through a pilot program funded by the Federal Highway Administration. The Ultra-Light Inertial Profiler (ULIP) is mounted on a Segway. The device’s displacement laser, three accelerometers, optical trigger, distance measurement instrument, and gyroscope are designed to measure the sidewalk surface at a rate of 10,000 records per second. Together, these devices capture highly accurate information about cross and running slope and small surface variations. A mounted computer, or Toughbook tablet, offers an interactive display during data collection. The technical precision offered by this technology was identified as a best practice in ADA Compliance at Transportation Agencies: A Review of Practices (NCHRP 20-07 Task 249), a National Cooperative Highway Research Program study.

C. DATA ANALYSIS

St. Louis County’s ADA sidewalk and curb ramp data provides staff with geographic data with, 1) positional accuracy, the digital representation of a barrier conforms to the actual location found in the field; and 2) attribute accuracy, the digital representation of a barrier is represented in a manner that best represents actual conditions found in the field (% running slope, % cross-slope, inches of vertical separation, etc.).

Guidance in defining the method with which to assess the data was found in Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access (FHWA, 1999). This report advises that grade and cross-slope “should be measured over 2 ft. intervals, the approximate length of a wheelchair wheelbase, or a single

walking pace.” Adherence to Federal Highway Administration interpretation of features in the data set provided quality assurance in the attribute accuracy of the resulting database. Once the field data collection and validity checks were performed, the raw data was processed so it could be stored in the County’s GIS database.

St Louis County is currently in the process of implementing a modern asset management platform to allow reporting and analysis of the collected data in a live environment. This system is anticipated to be in service by 2025.

D. REVIEW OF POLICIES, PROCEDURES & STANDARDS

A thorough review of policies, procedures and standards was conducted. Policies and standards were updated subsequent to the review to ensure compliance with ADA requirements. County policies and standards will continue to be regularly reviewed and updated in the future to ensure compliance with the ADA. A training session was also held with department staff to discuss St. Louis County Department of Transportation and Public Works’ practices. During this training, the purpose of ADA, the self-evaluation process and information relating to the needs of persons with disabilities in service situations was conveyed.

E. APPROACH TO BARRIER ANALYSIS

The barrier analysis results in a combined activity and impedance score for every sidewalk and curb ramp. A high activity score is representative of areas where pedestrian activity is likely to be greatest based on demographic, land use, and transportation conditions. A high impedance score is representative of areas where the quality of existing pedestrian infrastructure is poor for persons with disabilities, based on barriers documented in the sidewalk and curb ramp inventory.

ACTIVITY SCORE

Activity factors that describe the likelihood of disability community usage of an area’s pedestrian facilities are based on the following ten activity score categories (summing to a maximum possible 100 points).

a. Places of Public Accommodation: The ADA emphasizes the importance of “walkways serving local government offices and facilities” as such, these locations, along with community centers, social service providers, libraries, and hospitals are prioritized. This activity score category is determined by the proximity (expressed in linear feet) to these destinations.

b. Transit: Dependable, accessible public transportation is especially important for people with disabilities, many of whom rely on it to get to work and actively participate in their communities. This activity score category is determined by the distance (expressed in linear feet) to the nearest bus stop location.

c. Park Facilities-Recreation: There are numerous parks in St. Louis County with a broad range of amenities and features, including pools, community centers, hike/bike trails, etc. The County is committed to providing access to its parks, recreational facilities, and programs, for people with disabilities. This activity score category is determined by the proximity (expressed in linear feet) to these destinations.

d. Schools: Parents often consider “good” schools as an important factor when buying a new home. How their children get to and from school is part of that equation. The County is committed to working with the school district through safety improvements to increase the number of children who walk to school. This activity score category is determined by the proximity (expressed in linear feet) to these destinations.

e. Retail: Removing barriers to retail establishments facilitates equality of opportunity and full participation in civic life for people with disabilities. This activity score category is determined by the proximity (expressed in linear feet) to these destinations.

f. Hospitals and Medical Facilities: Removing barriers to medical establishments facilitates equality of opportunity and medical access for people with disabilities. This activity score category is determined by the proximity (expressed in linear feet) to these destinations.

g. Housing Density: Higher density communities with mixed land-use patterns tend to have higher levels of pedestrian activity. This activity score category is determined by Comprehensive Land-Use Plan densities based on housing type.

h. High-Volume Streets: Higher density communities with mixed land-use patterns tend to have higher levels of pedestrian activity. This activity score category is determined by Comprehensive Land-Use Plan densities for street types.

CURB RAMP IMPEDANCE SCORE

Activity scores are then combined with sidewalk and curb ramp impedance scores representing the areas of greatest constraint on mobility in the public rights-of-way. The impedance score calculations follow design guidance found in the ADA PROWAG Proposed Guidelines on dimensions and details for new construction and alterations of both sidewalks and curb ramps.

The Curb Ramp Impedance Score focuses on curb ramp characteristics that directly affect the usability of a ramp and determines whether the facility’s features represent a low, medium, or high barrier to accessibility. The curb ramp impedance score is determined by two levels of consideration – locations where curb ramps are warranted but missing (priority 1); or, locations where curb ramps exist but have non-standard features (priority 2).

Existing curb ramps with non-standard features (priority 2 locations) mean that: 1) the ramp width is too narrow; 2) the top landing is either missing or too narrow; 3) the ramp slope is

too steep; etc. Impedance factors that describe the barriers to accessibility at priority 2 ramp locations are based on the following twelve factors (a possible 95 points):

a. Ramp Surface Obstructions: Space is needed at the top and bottom of ramps so that people using wheelchairs can align with the running slope and maneuver from ramps, including when making turns (which is difficult on sloped surfaces). PROWAG R304.2.1 & R304.3.1 defines obstructions in the pedestrian environment as objects that limit the vertical passage space, protrude into the circulation route, or reduce the clearance width of the curb ramp.

b. Detectable Warning Surface (DWS): Raised tactile surfaces used as warnings employ textures detectable with the touch of a foot or sweep of a cane to indicate hazards or changes in the pedestrian environment. PROWAG R208 & R305 specifies that tactile surfaces used as detectable warnings must also provide color contrast with surrounding surface materials.

c Gutter Lip: Vertical changes that exceed ¼ inch in elevation at the bottom of a ramp can cause front casters to swivel and impede the momentum needed to propel the chair up-slope at a curb ramp threshold. PROWAG R302.7.1 specifies that transitions from ramps to gutter and streets should be flush and free of changes in level.

d. Top Landing Panel Size: Landings allow wheelchair users space to maneuver off the curb ramp and onto the sidewalk. Curb ramps without landings force wheelchair users entering the ramp from the street, as well as people turning the corner, to travel on the ramp flares. Furthermore, people who are continuing along the sidewalk will not have to negotiate a surface with a changing grade or cross slope. PROWAG R304.2.1, R304.3.1 &R407.6 specifies that landings with a minimum length of 48 inches, the length of an occupied wheelchair, will provide sufficient turning space. Landing length is measured in the direction of travel to and from the ramp. Landings at a minimum of 48 inches wide prevent pedestrians from having to cross the curb ramp flare. If ramps change direction at landings, commonly known as parallel ramps, the minimum landing size should be 60 inches by 60 inches. This additional space helps avoid trapping the footrest of a wheelchair between opposing up-slopes.

e. Top Landing Panel Slope: Level landings at the tops of curb ramps make it possible to change direction after completing the ascent, rather than during the rise, and to avoid traveling across the compound slope of a side flare when using the sidewalk rather than the curb ramp. PROWAG R407.6 specifies that ramps shall have level landings at bottom and top of each ramp and each ramp run. Landings are considered “level” when their slopes in the two perpendicular directions of travel do not exceed 2%.

f. Ramp Width: The minimum clear width of curb ramps is 48 inches. PROWAG R304.5.1.

g. Ramp Flare Slope: The flared sides of curb ramps provide a graded transition between the ramp and the surrounding sidewalk. Flares are not considered an accessible path of travel because they are generally steeper than the ramp and often feature significant cross-slopes with excessive rate of change of cross-slope. Flares with no adjoining walkable surface are excluded from evaluation. PROWAG R302.7.4 specifies that a 10 percent flare slope is acceptable.

h. Ramp Panel Running Slope (Grade): The ramp panel running slope is the sloped transition between the street and the sidewalk. Steep grades are difficult to negotiate for people who use walking aids and manual wheelchairs because more energy is needed to travel on sloped surfaces. PROWAG R304.2.2, R304.3.2 & R304.4.1 specifies that the ramp panel running slope should not exceed 8.33%.

i. Ramp Panel Cross Slope: A curb ramp allows people who use wheelchairs and other wheeled devices to negotiate the elevation change between the roadway and the sidewalk without having to negotiate the curb. People with mobility impairments often have difficulty negotiating a grade and cross slope simultaneously. Since the grade of the ramp will be significant, the cross slope should be minimized. PROWAG R302.6 specifies that ramp panel cross slopes should not exceed 2%.

j. Gutter Running Slope (Grade): The gutter is the roadway surface immediately next to the curb ramp that runs along the curb. At a curb ramp, the grade of the gutter is generally counter to the grade of the ramp. Excessive grade differences between gutter and ramp can cause a wheelchair to tip forward or flip over backward. According to PROWAG R304.5.4, the running slope of the gutter – measured parallel to the path of travel – should not exceed 5 percent. If the gutter running slope exceeds 5 percent, the rate of change of grade is likely to exceed 13 percent, depending upon the grade of the ramp.

k. Gutter Cross Slope: People with mobility impairments often have difficulty negotiating a grade and cross slope simultaneously. Since the grade of the ramp and gutter will be significant, the cross slope of both the ramp and gutter should be minimized. PROWAG R304.5.3 specifies that gutter cross slopes should not exceed 2%.

l. No Ramp: Where public pedestrian access routes are provided and pedestrians are directed to street crossings, curb ramps must be provided to eliminate a substantial barrier.

Signal Impedance Score

Focuses on pedestrian street crossings with accessible traffic signals’ characteristics that directly affect the usability of pedestrian street crossing and determines whether the facility’s features represent a low, medium, or high barrier to accessibility. The signal impedance score is determined by two levels of consideration locations where pedestrian signals are warranted but missing (priority 1); or, locations where pedestrian signals exist but have nonstandard features (priority 2).

a. No Button Present: Where pedestrian signals exist but have non-standard features, these considered a priority. Pushbuttons should be provided at each signalized pedestrian street crossing to eliminate a substantial barrier.

b. Button Height: Button heights in the pedestrian environment provides for a mounting height of approximately 42 inches, but no more than 48 inches, above the sidewalk. PROWAG section R209 states that pushbuttons must comply with section 4E.08 of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

c. Button Diameter: Button diameter in the pedestrian environment provides for a minimum diameter of 2 inches. PROWAG section R403.4 requires operable parts be able to operate with one hand and shall not require a tight grasping.

d. Button Pressure: Button pressure in the pedestrian environment provides for a maximum operable force. PROWAG section 403.4 requires operable parts be able to operate with one hand with a force that does not exceed 5 lbs.

e. Button Contrast: Button contrast in the pedestrian environment provides for a visually contrasting button compared to the button housing mechanism. Visual contrast and a locator tone enable blind or visually impaired pedestrians to locate the pushbutton. PROWAG requires that pushbuttons shall have a visual contrast with the body background of at least 70 percent.

f. Locator Tone: There shall be a locator tone complying with section 4E.09 of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

g. Closed Fist Option: Pedestrian pushbutton shall be operable with a closed fist per PROWAG requirements.

h. Clear Floor Space: The pushbutton shall be mounted adjacent to a clear floor space or a landing on the pedestrian access route leading to the crosswalk. The clear ground space shall be at least 36 inches by 48 inches.

i. Clear Floor Space Slope: The slope no more than 2% in any direction, and shall be provided with a stable, firm and slip resistant surface from which to operate controls. This clear floor space may overlap entirely with the pedestrian access route

j. Clear Floor Space Running Slope (Grade): Grade is defined as the slope parallel to the direction of travel. Both powered and manual wheelchairs can become unstable and/or difficult to control on sloped surfaces. PROWAG specifies that the ground space adjacent to the pushbutton be no greater than 2 percent.

k. Directional Information: These provide directions, warnings, or other information for pedestrian street crossings.

Island Impedance Score

Island Impedance Score focuses on cut-through pedestrian refuge island characteristics that provide adequate stopping, queuing and passing places for pedestrian refuge safety. Facility location and characteristics determine whether the facility’s features represent a low, medium, or high barrier to accessibility. There shall be a flush landing within the cut and the edges of the cut shall be aligned perpendicular to the street being crossed, or parallel to the direction of the pedestrian access route if the pedestrian access route is not perpendicular to the street. The island impedance score is determined by two levels of consideration –locations where an island cut-through is warranted but missing; or locations where an islands cut-through exists but has non-standard features.

a. Detectable Warning Surface (DWS): Raised tactile surfaces used as warnings employ textures detectable with the touch of a foot or sweep of a cane to indicate hazards or changes in the pedestrian environment. PROWAG R208.1 or R208.2 specifies that tactile surfaces used as detectable warnings must also provide color contrast with surrounding surface materials.

b. Refuge Island Width: The recommended minimum accessible route width is 60 inches. PROWAG R305.2.4 requires a five foot by five foot space as the minimum required for two persons traveling in opposite directions to wait, out of the street, for opportunities to continue crossing the street.

c. Refuge Island Floor Running Slope (Grade): The access route running slope is the sloped transition between the street and the sidewalk. Steep grades are difficult for people who use walking aids and manual wheelchairs to negotiate because more energy is needed to begin and to travel on sloped surfaces. PROWAG R302.5 specifies that the access route running slope should not exceed 5%.

d. Refuge Island Floor Cross Slope: The pedestrian access route within the island refuge area allows people who use wheelchairs and other wheeled devices to negotiate the elevation change along the route without having to negotiate changing slopes. People with mobility impairments often have difficulty negotiating a grade and cross slope simultaneously. Since the grade of the ramp will be significant, the cross slope should be minimized. PROWAG R302.6 specifies that island refuge cross slopes should not exceed 2%.

e. Gutter Lip: Vertical changes that exceed ¼ inch in elevation at the bottom of a ramp can cause front casters to swivel and impede the momentum needed to propel the chair up-slope at a curb ramp threshold. PROWAG 302.7.1 specifies that transitions from ramps to gutter and streets should be flush and free of changes in level.

f. Gutter Running Slope: The gutter is the roadway surface immediately next to the island entry point. At an island entry point, the grade of the gutter may be counter to the grade of the island entry. Excessive grade differences between gutter and island entry can cause a wheelchair to tip forward or flip over backward. According to PROWAG R304.5.4, the running slope of the gutter – measured parallel to the path of travel – should not exceed 5 percent. If the gutter running slope exceeds 5 percent, the rate of change of grade is likely to exceed 13 percent, depending upon the grade of the island access route.

g. Gutter Cross Slope: People with mobility impairments often have difficulty negotiating a grade and cross slope simultaneously. Since the grade at the island entry and gutter will be significant, the cross slope of both the island entry point and gutter should be minimized. PROWAG R304.5.3 specifies that gutter cross slopes should not exceed 2%.

h. No Cut-Through: Where street crossing direct pedestrian access to refuge islands, refuge must be provided to a safe crossing.

Sidewalk Impedance Score

Focuses on sidewalk characteristics that directly affect the usability of a sidewalk and determines whether the facility’s features represent a low, medium, or high barrier to accessibility.

The score is based on the number and severity of incidents of each of the following barriers over a given block face: fixed obstructions, changes in level, cross slope, and running slope. Scores are further adjusted by the ratio of non-standard features relative to the total length of the block face (a possible 100 points maximum).

a. Fixed Obstructions: Obstructions and protrusions in the pedestrian environment are defined as objects that limit the vertical and horizontal passage space, protrude into the circulation route, or reduce the clearance width of the pedestrian access route.

PROWAG R402.2 states that a minimum clear width of 48 inches be preserved in the sidewalk area. Additionally, PROWAG R402.2 states that objects projecting from walls that have leading edges between 27” and 80” should not protrude more than 4” into walks and passageways. Freestanding objects mounted on posts or pylon may overhang a maximum of 12” from 27” to 80” above the ground.

b. Changes in Level: Changes in level are defined as vertical height transitions between adjacent surfaces or along the surface of a path. Federal accessibility standards (PROWAG R302.7.2) permit changes in level less than ¼ inch high to be vertical but require changes in level between ¼ inch and ½ inch to have a maximum bevel of 50 percent. A ramp is required for changes in level that exceed ½ inch.

c. Cross Slope: Cross slope is defined as the slope measured perpendicular to the direction of travel. Changes in cross slope are commonly found at driveway crossings without level landings. Steep cross slopes can make it difficult for wheelchair or crutch users to maintain lateral balance and can cause walkers and wheelchairs to veer downhill or into the street. PROWAG R302.6 does not permit cross slopes to exceed 2%.

d. Running Slope (Grade): Grade is defined as the slope parallel to the direction of travel. Both powered and manual wheelchairs can become unstable and/or difficult to control on sloped surfaces. PROWAG R302.5 & R407.2 specifies that any sidewalk that is greater than 5 percent is considered a ramp. Allowances are made to permit the grade of the sidewalk to be consistent with the grade of adjacent roadways.

CURB

RAMP – INVENTORY ANALYSIS

This section of the ADA Self-Evaluation Report provides an assessment and barrier ranking summation of St. Louis County’s curb ramp locations.

Curb ramps are structural features that ease access to and from pedestrian access routes, and are a critical part of St. Louis County’s pedestrian network. Well-built and strategically located curb ramps greatly improve connectivity and safety on the pedestrian access route network. Without curb ramps, people who use wheelchairs would not be able to independently access the pedestrian access route and street.

Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to make pedestrian crossings accessible to people with disabilities by providing curb ramps. To comply with ADA requirements, the curb ramps provided must meet specific standards for width, running slope, cross slope, placement, and other features.

CURB RAMP

ASSESSMENT

PROWAG sets guidelines for each ramp feature. For each measured feature, the table below summarizes our findings.

CURB RAMP BARRIER ANALYSIS RANKING

Although ADA tells us which ramp features are non-standard; it does not offer guidance on which non-standard ramp location should be replaced first. The final stage of the ADA SelfEvaluation Report process was to screen ramp locations documented in the field inventory to establish an impedance score.

Curb ramp activity and impedance scores found in this report were sorted according to their size and divided into three categories (high/medium/ low) using natural breaks. The curb ramp natural break categories are as follows:

• activity score

o low = 2.5-34

o medium = 34.1-54.5

o high = 54.6-90

• impedance score

o low = 0-32.5

o medium = 32.6-71.5

o high = 71.6-100

Data for the curb ramp activity and impedance were layered to derive a composite barrier ranking score for a particular block face. Reflected in the table below are the final results of the barrier ranking analysis; categorized using natural breaks as follows: low = 11.5-75.5; medium = 75.6-111; high = 111.1-181.5.

SIGNAL – INVENTORY ANALYSIS

This section of the ADA Self-Evaluation Report provides an assessment and barrier ranking summation of St. Louis County’s pedestrian signal locations.

An accessible pedestrian signal and pedestrian pushbutton is an integrated device that communicates information about the WALK and DON’T WALK intervals at signalized intersections in non-visual formats to pedestrians who are blind or have low vision. Pedestrian signals and all connecting pathways shall be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so that all pedestrians, including people with disabilities, can travel safely and independently.

Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to make pedestrian crossings accessible to people with disabilities by providing accessible pedestrian signals where warranted with appropriate engineering studies. To comply with ADA requirements, the accessible pedestrian signals provided must meet specific standards for pushbuttons, clear floor space, audible walk indicators, signage, and other features. These guidelines are summarized below.

SIGNALS ASSESSMENT

PROWAG and MUTCD sets guidelines for each push button feature. For each measured feature, the table below summarizes our findings.

Signals Assessment Table

SIGNAL BARRIER ANALYSIS RANKING

Although ADA tells us which signal features are non-standard; it does not offer guidance on which non-standard signal location should be replaced first. The final stage of the ADA SelfEvaluation Report process was to screen the signal locations documented in the field inventory to establish an impedance score.

Signal activity and impedance scores – found in the technical appendix report – were sorted according to their size and divided into three categories (high/medium/ low) using natural breaks. The signal natural break categories are as follows: (i) activity score (low = 11.5-45; medium = 45.1-62.5; high = 62.6-100); and, (ii) impedance score (low = 0-33; medium = 33.167; high = 67.1-100).

Data for the signal activity and impedance were layered to derive a composite barrier ranking score for a particular intersection location. Reflected in the table below are the final results of the barrier ranking analysis; categorized using natural breaks as follows: low = 12.5-77.5; medium = 77.6-110.5; high = 110.6-183.

ISLAND REFUGE – INVENTORY ANALYSIS

This section of the ADA Self-Evaluation Report provides an assessment and barrier ranking summation of St. Louis County’s Island refuge (curb cut-through) locations.

Island refuge locations are structural features that ease access to and from pedestrian access routes, and are a critical part of St. Louis County’s pedestrian network. Island refuge areas are typically established to provide a resting area and minimize street intersection crossing distance. Island refuge routes shall have a flush landing within the cut and the edges of the cut shall be aligned perpendicular to the street being crossed, or parallel to the direction of the pedestrian access route if the pedestrian access route is not perpendicular to the street.

ISLAND REFUGE ASSESSMENT

Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to make pedestrian street crossings accessible to people with disabilities by providing island refuge areas. To comply with ADA requirements, the island refuge areas provided must meet specific standards for width, running slope, cross slope, placement, and other features.

ISLAND REFUGE BARRIER ANALYSIS RANKING

Although ADA tells us which ramp features are non-standard it does not offer guidance on which non-standard islands should be replaced first. The final stage of the ADA Self-Evaluation Report process was to screen the island locations documented in the field inventory to establish an impedance score.

Island refuge activity and impedance scores found in the technical appendix report were sorted according to their size and divided into three categories (high/medium/ low) using natural breaks. The island refuge natural break categories are as follows: (i) activity score (low = 19.5-38; medium = 38.1-54.5; high = 54.6-74); and, (ii) impedance score (low = 7.5-37.5; medium = 37.6-75; high = 75.1-100).

Data for the island refuge (island cut-throughs) activity and impedance were layered to derive a composite barrier ranking score for a particular intersection. Reflected in the table below are the final results of the barrier ranking analysis; categorized using natural breaks as follows: low = 27-87; medium = 87-126; high = 126-171.

SIDEWALK – INVENTORY ANALYSIS

This section of the ADA Self-Evaluation Report provides an assessment and barrier ranking summation of St. Louis County’s pedestrian access route network.

Accessible pedestrian access routes enable people with disabilities to reach their desired destinations in the community and to enjoy the benefits of County services, programs, and activities. Where pedestrian access routes are provided, public agencies are required to guarantee that continuous, unobstructed sidewalks are maintained in operable working condition.

SIDEWALK BARRIER ANALYSIS RANKING

Although ADA tells us which sidewalk features are non-standard it does not offer guidance on the priority for which non-standard sidewalk location should be repaired or replaced first. The final stage of the ADA Self-Evaluation Report process was to screen the total sidewalk block faces in the County’s jurisdiction to establish an impedance score.

Sidewalk activity and impedance scores found in the technical appendix report were sorted according to their magnitude and divided into three categories (high/medium/low) using natural breaks. The sidewalk block face natural break categories are as follows: (i) activity score (low = 7.5-35; medium = 35.1-56.5; high = 56.6-94); and, (ii) impedance score (low = 09.6; medium = 9.67-21.6; high = 21.7-64).

Data for sidewalk activity and impedance was layered to derive a composite barrier ranking score for a particular block face. Reflected in the table below are the results of the barrier ranking analysis that have been summarized into three categories. The results have been categorized using natural breaks as follows: low = 8.3-48.1; medium = 48.2-73.7; high = 73.8124.6. Together, the following table represents 4,420 block faces and 430.2 miles of sidewalk.

I. NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING

6. BUILDING FACILITIES ADA TRANSITION PLAN

A. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

The Department of Transportation and Public Works prioritizes ADA Transition Plan implementation for building facilities owned and operated by St. Louis County.

During project planning, development, and scoping process for minor improvements, the Department will determine the scope of ADA improvements which can be incorporated. Considerations include:

1) Funding availability

2) Opportunity cost, a.k.a., Benefit-Cost vs. other needs

3) Obstacles and Barriers to access

4) Technically infeasible direct conflicts

All major building renovation and new construction projects will be designed for full compliance with current ADA accessibility standards. All future potential leased facilities will evaluated for ADA compliance in order to qualify for leased space.

The Department shall include ADA Transition Plan upgrade into future planned projects. However, the typical ADA scope of work will vary based on the type of project. Below are typical project types and scoping elements:

B. LONG TERM STRATEGIES

1) The Department will request funding to complete an ADA inventory of our existing facilities in the 2024 budget.

2) The Department shall develop workflows for post-construction monitoring to regularly review its progress and expenditures on ADA transition plan compliance improvements implementation.

3) Each completed project with ADA component improvements will be final measured to document compliance.

4) Develop a schedule of ADA improvements based on an ADA inventory of our existing facilities.

C. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

It is not financially feasible to immediately remove all barriers to access. The Department will maximize ADA improvements as detailed above until all barriers have been addressed. The building list detailed below will be updated annually to account for progress and to provide for inclusion of new information.

The County reserves the right to modify barrier removal priorities in order to allow flexibility in accommodating community requests, requests for reasonable modifications from persons with disabilities, changes in County programs, and funding constraints and opportunities. It is the goal of this Transition Plan to provide access to the programs, activities and services provided by the County. Interim measures will be explored and implemented in order to provide programmatic access to the public pending the implementation of physical barrier removal projects.

The County has not yet developed a schedule of costs to bring all building facilities up to full ADA compliance.
