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 2021 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 2020, the City of Olathe contracted for the repair and/or removal and replacement of approximately 14,220 square feet of sidewalk and 18 ADA sidewalk ramps throughout the City of Olathe, through the 2020 Miscellaneous ADA Sidewalk Repair and Replacement Project. Since the project started in 2018 over 81,000 square feet of sidewalk and 90 ADA sidewalk ramps with reported ADA concerns have been repaired or replaced.
Sidewalk work authorized under this project will begin in January 2021 and will be managed by the Street Maintenance Section of Infrastructure (Field Operations).
