City on the development of the City ADA Transition Plan
The City of Baltimore is cordially inviting all residents to engage with the City on the development of the City ADA Transition Plan on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, from 5:30PM to 7:30PM. During this meeting, DOT will have a short presentation followed by Q&A as we record public input. Refreshments will also be provided for in-person attendees. Please see the attached flyer for the physical location and Webex link. The meeting information can also be found on the Baltimore City Department of Transportation’s website https://transportation.baltimorecity.gov/upcoming-public-meetings
Public input is essential to creating and maintaining the City’s ADA Transition Plan as a living document, along with helping DOT to prioritize future accessibility projects. The City ADA Transition Plan will help to identify physical accessibility barriers along the City of Baltimore’s public rights-of-way.* The plan will also provide a framework for making the City’s public rights-of-way accessible to individuals with disabilities by remedying existing infrastructure barriers.
*Public right-of-way infrastructure elements that will be addressed in the City ADA Transition Plan include sidewalks, pedestrian paths, curb ramps, street crossings, median crossings, driveway crossings, crosswalks, public transit stops, and pedestrian-accessible traffic signal systems.
Please share this Citywide ADA Meeting with family members, friends, and neighbors.
