specifications are applied to each specific project to achieve the best possible fit with existing conditions and still meet or exceed ADA. Design Standards & Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Accessways —1999 This adopted document, included as an appendix to the ACSP and included as Appendix F in the PIDS Manual (see above), provides the standards by which the referenced facilities must comply including new construction, reconstruction, and upgrades to same. 3. Pedestrian -Accessible Facilities within the Public Rights -cif -Way 3.1 Specified in ALBA Guidelines Compliance with the ADA is expected to be met for all permanent and temporary facilities located in the R/W when either newly constructed or altered, and when elements are added for pedestrian use. The types of facilities cited by the Access board that must be readily accessible and usable in the R/W by pedestrians with disabilities are listed below: • Sidewalks, pedestrian overpasses and underpasses, and other pedestrian circulation paths including requirements for pedestrian access routes, alternate pedestrian access routes when pedestrian circulation paths are temporarily closed, and protruding objects along or overhanging pedestrian circulation paths; • Pedestrian street crossings, medians and pedestrian refuge islands, including requirements for curb ramps or blended transitions, and detectable warning surfaces; • Pedestrian street crossings at roundabouts, including for detectable edge treatments where pedestrian crossing is not intended, and pedestrian activated signals at multi -lane pedestrian street crossings; • Pedestrian street crossings at multi -lane channelized turn lanes at roundabouts and at other signalized intersections, including requirements for pedestrian activated signals; • Pedestrian signals, including requirements for accessible pedestrian signals (APS) and pedestrian pushbuttons; • Transit stops and transit shelters for buses and light rail vehicles including requirements for boarding and alighting areas at sidewalk or street level, boarding platforms, and route signs; • Pedestrian at -grade rail grade crossings, including requirements for flangeway gaps; • On -street parking that is marked or metered, and passenger loading zones; • Pedestrian signs, including requirements for visible characters on signs and alternative requirements for Accessible sign systems and other technologies; • Street furniture for pedestrian use, including drinking fountains, public toilet facilities, tables, counters, and benches; • Ramps, stairways, escalators, handrails, doors, doorways, and gates. 4. Methods to Remove Barriers to Pedestrian -Accessible Facilities A variety of processes by which capital facilities in the R/W are designed, constructed, and altered provide opportunities to address removal of barriers to pedestrian accessibility for persons with disabilities. Some processes are generic to all types of facilities while others are tailored to a specific facility as outlined below: City of Eugene Transition Plan for Accessibility in the Public Rights -of -Way Page 5
