2016 ADA Improvements

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures access to the built environment for people with disabilities. The ADA Standards establish design requirements for the construction and alteration of facilities subject to the law. These enforceable standards apply to places of public accommodation, commercial facilities, and state and local government facilities.

A majority of the sidewalk ramps throughout Milwaukie were constructed before ADA regulations were enacted. The purpose of this project is to upgrade existing curb ramps that do not currently meet ADA Standards.

The general ramp construction areas are as follows:

SE Lake Road and SE 38th Avenue (2 Ramps)
SE Van Water Street and SE 30th Avenue (2 Ramps)
SE Van Water Street and SE 31st Avenue (2 Ramps)
