About
We are committed to providing the best accessibility possible to all people using the transportation system. One of the ways we are doing this is by bringing curb ramps along our highways to current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards. As part of this effort, we are exploring ways to design and construct these ramps more efficiently.
For this project, we grouped and rebuilt curb ramps in batches at various locations in the Willamette Valley and Northwest Coast.
Why were the curb ramps being done in batches?
Not all intersections or curb locations are the same, some are construction-ready and others may have fire hydrants, utility boxes, utility poles, additional land requirements or we need an environmental permit. These are things we take into account when scheduling the construction of the ramps in each city.
The construction-ready locations were done first because they could be done immediately while those needing additional coordination or design were part of a future batch or stage of construction. This is why an intersection with four corners might have been completed at different times.
