U.S. Access Board Webinar: Accessible Sidewalks, Shared Use Paths, and Street Crossings (February 7)
Ensuring access to public streets and sidewalks and shared use paths can be a challenge under the ADA since new guidelines for accessible public rights-of-way have yet to finalized. The next webinar in the U.S. Access Board's free monthly series will take place February 7 from 2:30 – 4:00 (ET) and will review resources on this subject that can be consulted in the interim. Presenters will discuss common access issues and solutions and review proposed requirements for sidewalks and street crossings, curb ramps and blended transitions, detectable warnings, pedestrian signals, on-street parking, street furniture, transit stops and other components of public rights-of-way and shared use paths.
