Mr. Sandstrom reviewed the proposed plan, and various components including a <br /> policy, schedule, assignment of an ADA Coordinator(Mr. Freihammer), <br /> collection of inspections and data retention, grievance procedures for the public's <br /> awareness, and design procedures. Mr. Sandstrom advised that this would be <br /> similar to the city's annual Pavement Management Plan (PMP) or street <br /> maintenance projects, with inspections performed for all pedestrian facilities <br /> within a particular project area, at which time they would be brought into <br /> compliance. As previously noted, Mr. Sandstrom advised that even without an <br /> official ADA plan in place the city had been making necessary revisions for years. <br /> As part of his presentation, Mr. Sandstrom reviewed the various scenarios and <br /> diagrams of a cross slope for specific ranges (steepness) domes for visually <br /> impaired to feel out, grades for tapering the curb into the ramp and lip; and other <br /> steps to eliminate tripping hazards. Mr. Sandstrom advised that staff was <br /> currently finalizing its data collection process, and would ultimately begin <br /> inspections, subsequently incorporating that data into its asset management plan. <br /> Mr. Sandstrom reported on the 3-2-1 ranking system and the criteria of each (e.g. <br /> full compliance, non-compliant with small modification needed, or full <br /> replacement) and space requirements needed and/or available to being the grade <br /> into proper alignment. <br /> At the request of Member Seigler, Mr. Freihammer estimated that the cost to <br /> remove and replace curb and gutter was approximately $30 to $40 per foot; <br /> typically running $7,000 to $8,000 per ramp; multiplied by four an intersection. <br /> Mr. Sandstrom continued the presentation with why inspections were necessary <br /> since the 10-year-old ADA law was no longer compliant; and provided various <br /> photographic examples of ramps. Mr. Sandstrom referenced the appendix that <br /> would be included in the ADA transition plan with curbs identified and <br /> catalogued by map and list, including designating which are city-, county- or state <br /> owned. <br /> Mr. Sandstrom reviewed a draft grievance or complaint procedure for use by <br /> residents to bring areas to the city's attention, and available on the city website or <br /> at city hall, or by leaving a recorded message at City Hall; and subsequent staff <br /> field investigations, and a 30-day response timeframe to the submitter and ranking <br /> for resolution. <br /> Mr. Sandstrom noted designs going forward to bring ramps up to current <br /> requirements/standards, with MnDOT plan sheets available for five different <br /> scenarios, and typically updated annually. Mr. Sandstrom advised that those plan <br /> sheets will become part of the ADA transition plan for Roseville, and every <br /> project built to ADA standards, whether a local or Minnesota State Aid (MSA) <br /> street. <br /> Page 10 of 17 <br />
