The City of Kerman is in the process of preparing a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan and welcomes the communities’ input.
The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan will focus on providing safe travel to and from school campuses, with an emphasis on identifying measures to facilitate walking and bicycling by students. The SRTS plan will identify a range of physical improvements, including walkway improvements which may include enhanced or high-visibility crossings, bikeway improvements which may include bicycle lanes, paths, separated bicycle treatments, etc., as well as drop-off/pick-up improvement recommendations.
The ADA Transition Plan will focus on assessing barriers to travel that conflict with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and will describe the methods that will be used to make those facilities accessible in the future. Barriers to travel relevant to ADA requirements for the public street network include street segments that lack ADA-compliant sidewalks or crosswalks, including ADA-compliant curb rams and/or ADA-compliant accessible pedestrian signals and markings. The ADA Transition Plan will identify location-specific barriers to ADA access, recommend improvements and costs to eliminate those barriers, and provide a schedule for installing the recommended improvements.
