<br />I agree that the gazebo is a facility and must be ADA accessible. I heard mention at the Council <br />Meeting this week that the Parks & Recreation Committee was looking at using porous pebbles for <br />trail surfacing. There is no clear answer to the question of whether the choice of a porous material is <br />always going to be ADA compliant. For most uses that material will probably be ADA appropriate, but <br />don't just think in terms of wheelchairs. If someone has a cane or walker which pierces through <br />the material then it is not ADA compliant for that use. Perhaps the regular trails in the park could use <br />the loose pebbles and a single trail to gazebo could use a cement which has those same pebbles (or <br />other material) impregnated into its surface. That surface could support wheelchairs, canes, walkers, <br />provide a solid surface to resonate the noise from sight-impaired canes, but then it could athletically <br />match the material on the other trails in the park. <br /> <br />Namin!! of the Park at 1601 LaMotte Drive <br /> <br />City Council tabled the naming of the park 'Hidden Spring Park' until this spring when it can be <br />verified the spring has adequate pressure and will actually be able to be used in some fashion. <br /> <br />30f3 <br />
