Summary:
This project provides for the repair and/or removal and replacement of sidewalk and sidewalk ramps throughout the City that are identified by the City Engineer or designee as not meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements due to trip hazards, conditions, cross slopes, etc.
The 2020 Miscellaneous ADA Sidewalk Repair and Replacement Project provides funding for sidewalk ADA issues and/or citizen sidewalk complaints. This annual project allows the City of Olathe to pro-actively address known sidewalk issues, to respond more quickly to citizen sidewalk requests, and to improve transportation options for pedestrians and disabled populations throughout the City.
In 2019, the City of Olathe contracted for the repair and/or removal and replacement of almost 36,380 square feet of sidewalk, 228 linear feet of curb and 35 ADA sidewalk ramps throughout the City of Olathe, through the 2019 Miscellaneous ADA Sidewalk Repair and Replacement Project. Since the project started in 2018 almost 67,000 square feet of sidewalk, 580 linear feet of curb and gutter and 72 ADA sidewalk ramps with reported ADA concerns have been repaired or replaced.
Sidewalk work authorized under this project will begin in January 2020 and will be managed by the Street Maintenance Section of Public Works.
