3 ADA background & alterations definition Design considerations Provide sufficient layout data Curb ramp selection Maximum curb ramp and gutter slopes Technically infeasible Construction components DWF placement Curb cut, landing considerations and ancillary considerations Curb ramp field challenges 3

4 A civil rights law Prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in all aspects of life, including transportation Compliance not dependent on funding source Covers State and Local Governments and their agencies whenever streets, roadways, or highways are altered to provide curb ramps where street level pedestrian walkways cross curbs

5 DOJ & DOT Joint Technical Assistance Alteration vs Maintenance Adding or replacing asphalt vs coating the asphalt surface and not adding asphalt material Alteration projects must include curb ramps within the scope of the project

6 Combination of maintenance activities can equal an alteration plus Chip Seals Fog Seals Scrub Sealing Crack Filling and Sealing Joint Crack Seals Slurry Seals Diamond Grinding Joint repairs Spot High-Friction Treatments Dowel Bar Retrofit Pavement Patching Surface Sealing Addition of New Layer of Asphalt Cape Seals Hot In-Place Recycling Microsurfacing / Thin-Lift Overlay Mill & Fill / Mill & Overlay New Construction Open-graded Surface Course Rehabilitation and Reconstruction

7 7

8 1. Curb ramp type selection 2. Grades in wheelchair path 3. 12:1 (8.33%) absolute max curb ramp slope per ADA WisDOT max 7% at curb opening Updated SDDs 4. 11% max slope differential between ramp and gutter 5. Application of curb behind sidewalk 6. 12:1 (8.33%) max flare slopes for Type 1-A Ramp types and effect to curb tapers

9 7. Alignment of detectable warning fields (DWF) 8. Landing at top of ramp with no more than 2% slope in any direction 9. Laying out curb ramp cuts prior to ramp installation 10. Median/pork-chop island pedestrian refuge construction 11. Push button placement in relation to curb ramp 12. Review for conflicts with signal, light pole bases, manholes, gas valves, etc.

10 FDM Curb Ramp Type Identified on Plans Doesn t Work in the Field Field Adjustments often required to bridge the gap

11 Often rely only on the SDD s instead of actual field conditions May lead to non ADAcompliance in constrained urban environments Need to design curb ramps More emphasis in design Detail sufficiently to construct

12 Shifts design work Inefficient contractor and field engineer Increase risk of being improperly constructed Additional construction staff time

13 Should be included in construction plans: Curb ramp layout type for reference (i.e. Type 2, Type 1) Detectable warning field alignment Intended ADA slopes not to be exceeded (i.e. 2%, 5%, 8.33%) Curb head height variations between curb ramps Intended direction for drainage Low points identified Elevations

14 Design Sufficient Layout Information Curb Identified Sidewalk Lowered Intended Slopes Plan Detail Points Lowering of Curb Height Noted

15 Use Perpendicular Two ramps per corner Ramp aligned with crosswalk Straight path of travel 5 x 5 landing shared Parallel Two ramps both parallel to the direction of travel Design with 1.5% running slope through ramp

16 Diagonal ramp not recommended CONFLICTS Directs people into path of through-motorists or turning motorists Visually impaired - not aligned in travel path Wheelchairs use street as landing to change directions

17 Not Acceptable Acceptable

18 Note: Updated curb ramp SDDs effective Nov 2015 PS & E (March 2016 lets) 7% Max Example Type 2 Curb Ramp FDM

19 If the terrace is less than 6 feet wide then it is likely that the ramp slope will exceed 7% unless the sidewalk is lowered 7% max. slope <6

20 Often requires lowering curb height between ramps

21 Lowering of sidewalk near curb ramp may require curb behind sidewalk Good application of 12:1 (8.33%) max flare slopes with walkable surface abutting back of curb

22 11% Max Note: 1.5% sidewalk cross slope required But 6.25%+8.3%= 14.55% > 11%

23 Option 1: Lower Sidewalk % Gutter To achieve the 11% max slope differential, the ramp slope must be substantially below the 12:1 (8.33%) max ramp slope 5 Sidewalk Lower Additional 1.7 Inches 6.25%+4.75%= 11% OK

24 Option 2: Modify Gutter Slope (less than 6.25%) Current FDM & SDD requirements: max 4% + max 7% = max 11% (gutter) (ramp)

25 Technically infeasible: existing physical constraints limit ability to meet the current ADA standards then upgrades must be done to provide access to the maximum extent feasible (practicable within the scope and final design)

26 Existing physical constraints may include: Underlying terrain Right-of-way availability Underground structures Adjacent developed facilities Drainage Presence of a notable natural or historic feature Determined by designer and documented Plan intersection design details are imperative

27 Curb ramps Detectable warnings required on curb ramps at all legal crossings, sidewalk and shared-use paths Detectable warning fields = truncated domes (no wire mesh) CORRECT INCORRECT INCORRECT INCORRECT

28 INCORRECT

29 CORRECT

30 Typically at larger intersection radius with wide directional curb ramp and narrow terrace Non-standard DWF panel sizes should be noted in plans Row panel overlap required 5 max between back of curb and last panel (updated SDD) Alternative ramp designs may be preferred 30

31 The curb ramp layout must occur prior to curb installation. Curb is installed prior to curb ramp installation Note: Space adjacent to DWF is excessive (zero offset req d per updated SDDs)

32 Provide 5 x 5 flat landing at top of the ramps Construct max 1.5% cross slope at intersecting sidewalks Landing with less than 2% slope in any direction Lower curb head

33 Desirable vertical edge Undesirable sloped edge Potential tripping hazard May cause twisted ankles

34 Improper Placement Improper Placement

35 Adjacent to level landing, all weather surface Face of push button parallel to crosswalk to be used Mount push button 3.5 ft above the sidewalk, no more than 4 ft. No further than 5 ft from crosswalk Two signals, two poles separated by at least 10 ft. MUTCD 4E.08 (06)

36 Provide appropriate lateral clearance to utility poles, hydrants, streetscape elements, signing, and exposed bases - out of the pedestrian access route Install utility covers, rims, etc. to correct slope Improper Placement Proper Placement

37

38 Recommendations: Discuss curb ramp layouts during the scheduled weekly construction meetings Hold on-site meeting with construction project leader prior to laying out curb ramps Proposed curb ramp layout details Anticipated challenges or layout questions

39 Resolving Challenges in the Field 1. Follow contract language and pre-construction established protocol 2. Notify construction project leader of the issue/discrepancy lack of layout information, field conditions 3. Review the SDD and plan detail drawings with construction project leader 4. If necessary, construction leader contacts designer clarify design, alternatives to address issues. 5. Critique at end of project
