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 />
