2021-103 ADA Transition Plan ProgressDecember 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-103
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ADA Transition Plan Progress
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination
based on someone’s disability. According to Title II of the Act, municipalities are required to have
a plan to make accommodations for everyone. The City of Denton is committed to a city-wide
ADA compliance. Beginning in September 2018, the City contracted with Kimley-Horn
Associates, Inc. for the Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. Field assessments for Phase I and II
were completed in June 2021, and Kimley-Horn has delivered the draft Transition Plan
(Exhibit 1). This plan provides the City of Denton a list of improvements that are required to be
completed to meet current standards, recommended priority, and projected cost estimates. The
ADA Transition Plan will be an integral component in the overall planning within Parks,
Recreation and Trails Master Plan, the Mobility Plan, Denton 2040, and additional long-term
planning in the city. In addition, this study is a requirement in the accreditation process in which
the Parks and Recreation Department has been working to achieve. It is the desire of staff to have
this plan adopted by City Council by the end of 2021.
DISCUSSION:
An ADA Transition Plan is a formal document available to the public outlining the City’s
compliance with ADA. The plan includes the City’s ADA Program Coordination, Public Notice,
Grievance Procedure, Public Involvement Procedure, Self-Evaluation Outcome, and
Implementation Program.
Phase I
Phase I of the Transition Plan began in 2018. This phase included review of sidewalks, corridors,
curb ramps, pedestrian equipment at traffic signals, and pedestrian street crossings and was
completed in 2019. Kimley-Horn worked closely with Engineering and Public Works
Departments. The results of this phase of the plan are being used to assist in developing the
Mobility Plan, and staff is using a variety of funding opportunities as they arise to address the
recommendations.
Phase II
Phase II of the ADA Transition Plan reviewed all City buildings and associated Park properties.
This analysis included, but was not limited to, evaluations of accessible parking, path of travel to
building entrances, and building interior elements for public areas; as well as accessible parking,
December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-103
all sidewalks/paths/trails within parks, and all amenities within parks (including restrooms,
buildings, playgrounds, etc.) to assess their condition with respect to compliance with ADA
requirements. This plan provides the City of Denton a list of improvements that are required to be
completed to meet current standards along with projected cost and hierarchy of priorities.
Draft Report
The attached exhibits include the ADA Transition Plan, priorities, mapping, and draft presentation.
Highlights and Issues
The ADA Transition Plan divides the City’s compliance needs into High, Medium, and Low
priorities based on the Department of Justice (DOJ) standards outlined in Title II of ADA. Most
of the issues the self-evaluation revealed were improvements to our intersections, sidewalks,
parking, and facility restrooms. Presentations were made to the Committee on Persons with
Disabilities and the Park, Recreation, and Beautification Board to discuss and review the final
plan.
Cost Summary
Phase I and II estimated costs to the city are outlined due to High, Medium, and Low priority. Most
high-priority items include sidewalks and intersections, which are estimated at $7.7 million. Most
of the City’s improvements fall within the Medium ($17.2 million) and Low ($18.6 million)
priorities, with a total cost of improvements at $43.5 million. As an example, if a 20-year plan
was proposed, the annual cost averages at $2.8 million per year. Many of the improvements may
be included within future renovations or Capital Improvement Projects.
Boards and Committee Input
The draft plan and associated exhibits were presented to the Committee on Persons with
Disabilities on November 18, 2021, to discuss and receive direction. Feedback from the committee
included sidewalk, detectable warning pavers, bus stop concerns, as well as public access to the
individual reports, potential inflationary costs, and the transition timeline. The committee
recommended to move forward with receiving plan adoption and will be presented to City Council.
On December 6, 2021, the same information will be presented to the Parks, Recreation and
Beautification Board for input.
Future Steps
If City Council adopts the plan, staff plans to incorporate ADA improvements into regular
maintenance and upgrade schedules, based on priority over a designated period of time, most likely
20 years.
December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-103
CONCLUSION:
Please provide input to the City Manager’s Office on the draft ADA Transition Plan report by 5
p.m. on December 17, 2021. Staff will utilize Council input for a future meeting to request approval
and adoption of the final ADA Transition Plan.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan is to summarize the
activities completed to-date related to ADA compliance and to create a roadmap for the City of Denton to update their
ADA Transition Plan. Prioritization methodology for evaluating and implementing improvements was developed
based on the applicable 2010 ADA Standards and 2011 Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in
the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG), and the details are provided in this document.
This document includes an overview of the ADA and provides recommendations for the City of Denton based on
guidance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to improve
accessibility for the public.
1.2 Legislative Mandate
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that mandates equal opportunity for individuals with
disabilities. The ADA prohibits discrimination in access to jobs, public accommodations, government services, public
transportation, and telecommunications. Title II of the ADA also requires that all programs, services, and activities
(PSAs) of public entities provide equal access for individuals with disabilities.
The City of Denton has undertaken a comprehensive evaluation of its PSAs to determine the extent that individuals
with disabilities may be restricted in their access.
1.3 ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan Development Requirements and Process
The City of Denton is obligated to observe all requirements of Title I in its employment practices; Title II in its policies,
programs, and services; any parts of Titles IV and V that apply to the City and its programs, services, or facilities; and
all requirements specified in the 2010 ADA Standards and 2011 Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian
Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG) that apply to facilities and other physical holdings.
Title II has the broadest impact on the City. Included in Title II are administrative requirements for all government
entities employing more than 50 people. These administrative requirements are:
• Completion of a Self-Evaluation;
• Development of an ADA complaint procedure;
• Designation of at least one (1) person who is responsible for overseeing Title II compliance; and
• Development of a Transition Plan to schedule the removal of the barriers uncovered by the Self-Evaluation
process. The Transition Plan will become a working document until all barriers have been addressed.
This document describes the process developed to complete the evaluation of the City of Denton’s PSAs and
facilities, provides possible solutions to remove programmatic barriers, and presents a Transition Plan for the
modification of facilities and public rights-of way to improve accessibility, which will guide the planning and
implementation of necessary program and facility modifications over the next 20 years. The ADA Self-Evaluation and
Transition Plan is significant in that it establishes the City’s ongoing commitment to the development and
maintenance of PSAs and facilities that accommodate all its citizenry.

1.4 Discrimination and Accessibility
Program accessibility means that, when viewed in its entirety, each program is readily accessible to and usable by
individuals with disabilities. Program accessibility is necessary not only for individuals with mobility needs, but also to
individuals with sensory and cognitive disabilities.
Accessibility applies to all aspects of a program or service, including but not limited to physical access,
advertisement, orientation, eligibility, participation, testing or evaluation, provision of auxiliary aids, transportation,
policies, and communication.
The following are examples of elements that should be evaluated for barriers to accessibility:
1.4.1 Physical Barriers
• Parking
• Path of travel to, throughout, and between buildings and amenities
• Doors
• Service counters
• Restrooms
• Drinking fountains
• Public telephones
• Path of travel along sidewalk corridors within the public rights-of-way
• Access to pedestrian equipment at signalized intersections
1.4.2 Programmatic Barriers
• Building signage
• Customer communication and interaction
• Non-compliant sidewalks or curb ramps
• Emergency notifications, alarms, and visible signals
• Participation opportunities for City sponsored events
1.4.3 Ongoing Accessibility Improvements
City PSAs and facilities evaluated during the Self-Evaluation will continue to be evaluated on an ongoing basis, and
the ADA Transition Plan will be revised to account for changes that have been or will be completed since the initial
Self-Evaluation. This Plan will be made available to the public through posting on the City's website.
1.4.4 City of Denton Approach
The purpose of the Transition Plan is to provide the framework for achieving equal access to the City of Denton’s
PSAs within a reasonable timeframe. The City's elected officials and staff believe that accommodating persons with
disabilities is essential to good customer service, ensures the quality of life Denton residents seek to enjoy, and
guides future improvements. This Plan has been prepared after careful study of all the City's programs, services,
activities, and evaluations of a select number of City facilities.
The City of Denton should make reasonable modifications in PSAs when the modifications are necessary to avoid
discrimination based on disability, unless the City can demonstrate that making the modifications will fundamentally
alter the nature of the program, service, or activity. The City of Denton will not place surcharges on individuals with
disabilities to cover the cost involved in making PSAs accessible.

1.4.5 Exceptions and Exemptions
A municipality is not required to take any action that would create any undue financial or administrative burden for the
public entity, create a hazardous condition for other people, or threaten or destroy the historic significance of a
historic property.
In determining whether an alteration would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on a covered entity,
factors to be considered include: (i) the nature and cost of the alteration needed; (ii) the overall financial resources of
the facility or facilities involved in the provision of the reasonable accommodation; the number of persons employed
at such facility; the effect on expenses and resources, or the impact otherwise of such accommodation upon the
operation of the facility; (iii) the overall financial resources of the covered entity; the overall size of the business of a
covered entity with respect to the number of its employees; the number, type, and location of its facilities; and (iv) the
type of operation or operations of the covered entity, including the composition, structure, and functions of the
workforce of such entity; the geographic separateness, administrative, or fiscal relationship of the facility or facilities
in question to the covered entity.
In determining whether an alteration would threaten or destroy the historic significance of a historic property, the City
should first confirm if the property is on the National Register of Historic Places. Based on a search of the National
Register of Historic Places NPGallery Database (https://npgallery.nps.gov/nrhp) and the associated geodatabase
(https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2210280), there are eight (8) historical places within the City of
Denton including the Cranston Site, Denton County Courthouse, Denton County Courthouse Square Historic District,
the J. C. Lambert Site, Rector Road Bridge, the Rock-Griffith Site, the A. H. Serren Site, and the Wilson-Donaldson
Site. There may be other documentation available not provided on these websites.
A municipality is not necessarily required to make each of its existing facilities accessible to and usable by individuals
with disabilities. In the event the City determines a proposed action would generate undue financial or administrative
burden, create a hazardous condition for other people, or threaten or destroy the historic significance of a historic
property, a municipality has a responsibility to communicate and document the decision and the methodology used to
reach it. If an action would result in such an alteration or such burdens, a municipality shall take any other actions
that would not result in such an alteration or such burdens but would nevertheless ensure that individuals with
disabilities receive the benefits or services provided by the City.
1.5 New Construction and Alterations
If the start date for construction is on or after March 15, 2012, all newly constructed or altered state and local
government facilities must comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Before that date, the 1991
Standards (without the elevator exemption), the Uniform Federal Accessibility Guidelines, or the 2010 ADA
Standards may be used for such projects when the start of construction commences on or after September 15, 2010.
The most recent standard is the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which sets the minimum requirements –
both scoping and technical – for newly designed and constructed or altered state and local government facilities,
public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
disabilities. It is effectuated from 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 35.151 and the 2004 Americans with
Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). However, the FHWA and DOJ recommend using PROWAG for
designing facilities within the public rights-of-way as a best practice until it is adopted at the federal level. Additionally,
the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has adopted PROWAG and incorporated the guidelines into design
standards for pedestrian facilities. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is also incorporated by
reference within PROWAG. The City of Denton has generally adopted PROWAG and incorporated the guidelines into
the City’s design criteria. This allows for enforcement of these guidelines for all City projects within the public rights-
of-way, regardless of the adoption status at the state and federal level.
4
2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
The Department of Justice’s revised regulations for Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 were published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010. These regulations adopted revised,
enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, "2010
Standards." On March 15, 2012, compliance with the 2010 Standards was required for new construction and
alterations under Titles II and III. March 15, 2012 is also the compliance date for using the 2010 Standards
for program accessibility and barrier removal.
PROWAG
The U.S. Access Board is developing new guidelines for public rights-of-way that will address various
issues, including access for blind pedestrians at street crossings, wheelchair access to on-street parking,
and various constraints posed by space limitations, roadway design practices, slope, and terrain. The new
guidelines will cover pedestrian access to sidewalks and streets, including crosswalks, curb ramps, street
furnishings, pedestrian signals, parking, and other components of public rights-of-way. The Board’s aim in
developing these guidelines is to ensure that access for persons with disabilities is provided wherever a
pedestrian way is newly built or altered, and that the same degree of convenience, connection, and safety
afforded the public generally is available to pedestrians with disabilities. Once these guidelines are adopted
by the Department of Justice, they will become enforceable standards under Title II of the ADA. However, in
a memorandum date January 23, 2006 from the Federal Highway Administration, the draft PROWAG is the
recommended best practice and can be considered the state of the practice that could be followed for areas
not fully addressed by the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
In the state of Texas, the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) references PROWAG compliance for elimination
of barriers for public rights-of-way projects. Similarly, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation
(TDLR) has incorporated PROWAG into their Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) and site review process.
As projects are completed, TDLR inspections are required to review compliance with these standards.
MUTCD
Traffic control devices shall be defined as all signs, signals, markings, and other devices used to regulate,
warn, or guide traffic. These devices are placed on, over, or adjacent to a street, highway, pedestrian
facility, bikeway, or private road open to public travel by authority of a public agency or official having
jurisdiction, or, in the case of a private road, by authority of the private owner or private official having
jurisdiction. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices is incorporated by reference in 23 CFR Part
655, Subpart F and shall be recognized as the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on
any street, highway, bikeway, or private road open to public travel in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 109(d) and
402(a). The policies and procedures of the FHWA to obtain basic uniformity of traffic control devices shall be
as described in 23 CFR 655, Subpart F.
It should be noted that the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) is incorporated by
reference in the TAC and shall be recognized as the Texas standard for all traffic control devices installed
on any public street, highway, bikeway, or private road open to public travel.
1.6 Maintenance Versus Alterations
The DOJ has issued a briefing memorandum on clarification of maintenance versus alteration projects. Information
contained in the briefing memorandum is below. We recommend this clarification regarding when curb ramp
installation is required as part of a project be distributed to the appropriate City of Denton staff.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is a civil rights statute prohibiting discrimination against
persons with disabilities in all aspects of life, including transportation, based on regulations promulgated by
5
the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). DOJ’s regulations require accessible planning, design, and
construction to integrate people with disabilities into mainstream society. Further, these laws require that
public entities responsible for operating and maintaining the public rights-of-way do not discriminate in their
programs and activities against persons with disabilities. FHWA’s ADA program implements the DOJ
regulations through delegated authority to ensure that pedestrians with disabilities have the opportunity to
use the transportation system’s pedestrian facilities in an accessible and safe manner.
FHWA and DOJ met in March 2012 and March 2013 to clarify guidance on the ADA’s requirements for
constructing curb ramps on resurfacing projects. Projects deemed to be alterations must include curb ramps
within the scope of the project.
This clarification provides a single Federal policy that identifies specific asphalt and concrete-pavement
repair treatments that are considered to be alterations – requiring installation of curb ramps within the scope
of the project – and those that are considered to be maintenance, which do not require curb ramps at the
time of the improvement. Figure 1 provides a summary of the types of projects that fall within maintenance
versus alterations.
This approach clearly identifies the types of structural treatments that both DOJ and FHWA agree require
curb ramps (when there is a pedestrian walkway with a prepared surface for pedestrian use and a curb,
elevation, or other barrier between the street and the walkway) and furthers the goal of the ADA to provide
increased accessibility to the public right-of-way for persons with disabilities. This single Federal policy will
provide for increased consistency and improved enforcement.

1.7 FHWA Guidance on Closing Pedestrian Crossings
An alteration that decreases or has the effect of decreasing the accessibility of a facility below the requirements for
new construction at the time of the alternation is prohibited. For example, the removal of an existing curb ramp or
sidewalk (without equivalent replacement) is prohibited. However, the FHWA has indicated a crossing may be closed
if an engineering study (performed by the City and not included in the scope of this Transition Plan) determines the
crossing is not safe for any user. The crossing should be closed by doing the following:
• A physical barrier is required to close a crossing at an intersection. FHWA has determined that a strip of
grass between the sidewalk and the curb IS acceptable as a physical barrier.
• A sign should be used to communicate the closure.
Agencies wishing to close certain intersection crossings should have a reasonable and consistent policy on when to
do so written in their Transition Plan or as a standalone document. If safety concerns are established by an
engineering study, a pedestrian crossing should not be accommodated for any user. The City of Denton should also
develop and implement a policy on how to close those crossings that are accommodated based on the existing
conditions at the crossing location (e.g., existing sidewalk leading up to the curb in the direction of the crossing or
existing curb ramp or crosswalk serving the crossing) but should not be due to safety concerns. The City will only
consider closing an existing pedestrian crossing if it is determined to be unsafe by an engineering study.
1.8 Existing City Programs that Implement ADA Upgrades
The City of Denton currently implements ADA compliant designs through the following efforts:
• City to confirm which ADA improvement-related projects/efforts have been completed or are in progress.

2.0 Committee on Persons with Disabilities and Public
Outreach Summary
The City of Denton has received public input on the development of the Transition Plan through public meetings
which were hosted on April 18, 2019, at 6:00 PM and March 18, 2021 at 3:00 PM. The meeting was attended by
members of the City’s Committee on Persons with Disabilities as well as other members of the general public. The
City will continue to solicit feedback from the public on the Transition Plan.
The public meeting notes are provided in Appendix A.
2.1 Web Survey
The City also developed a web survey open to the public. The survey was designed to help the City locate areas of
greatest concern to the public and help provide better access to the community. The survey can be accessed via the
following link:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ADA_Denton
Survey comment response have been summarized in the bullets below, and all comments received have been provided
in Appendix A.
Survey response feedback summary:
• The City is generally accepting and accommodating of persons with disabilities, though there are still
improvements to be made.
• Some sidewalk sections have stairs, which are impossible to navigate in a wheelchair.
• Sidewalk with obstructions such as broken panels, utility boxes, and trees are very dangerous and should be
addressed.
• Construction has presented mobility challenges, ensure adequate alternate routes are provided during periods
of construction.
• Connectivity of the pedestrian sidewalk network and the frequency of “missing sidewalk” sections should be
considered where there are small gaps in the sidewalk. The gaps are problematic for users of various travel
mode and ability.
2.2 Web Map
The City also developed an online map to allow the public to identify specific locations where they experience issues
related to accessibility, safety, connectivity, or suggestions for accessibility improvements that are needed in Denton.
The map can be accessed via the following link:
http://wikimapping.com/wikimap/Denton-ADA-Transition-Plan-Update.html
The web survey and map were sent out through social media and emailed to members of the Committee on Persons
with Disabilities for redistribution. Opportunities for public feedback were publicized during the summer of 2019 and
again during the spring and summer of 2021. These resources will continue to serve as a tool to solicit feedback from
the public on the Transition Plan.

3.0 Self-Evaluation and Summary of Findings
The City of Denton’s ADA Transition Plan reflects a comprehensive review of City-maintained building facilities,
parks, signalized intersections, public rights-of-way sidewalks, and associated curb ramps. The Transition Plan will
be updated to include the results of a comprehensive review of the programs, services, and activities provided to
employees and the public once these elements are completed during a future project phase.
3.1 Programs, Procedures, and Policies Review
Under the ADA, the City of Denton is required to complete a Self-Evaluation of the City’s facilities, programs, policies,
and practices. The Self-Evaluation identifies and provides possible solutions to those policies and practices that are
inconsistent with Title II requirements. To be compliant, the Self-Evaluation should consider all the City’s PSAs, as
well as the policies and practices the City uses to implement its various programs and services.
To comply with requirements of the plan, the City must take corrective measures to achieve program accessibility
through several methods, including, but not limited to:
(1) Relocation of programs to accessible facilities;
(2) Modifications to existing programs so they are offered in an accessible manner;
(3) Structural methods such as altering an existing facility;
(4) Policy modifications to ensure nondiscrimination; and
(5) Auxiliary aids provided to produce effective communication.
When choosing a method of providing program access, the City should attempt to give priority to the method that
promotes inclusion among all users, including individuals with disabilities.
PSAs offered by the City to the public must be accessible. Accessibility applies to all aspects of a program, services,
or activity, including advertisement, orientation, eligibility, participation, testing or evaluation, physical access,
provision of auxiliary aids, transportation, policies, and communication.
However, the City does not have to take any action that will result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of a
program or activity, create a hazardous condition for other people, or result in an undue financial and/or
administrative burden. This determination can only be made by the ADA/504 Coordinator and/or an authorized
designee of the City, such as the City Manager or their designee and must be accompanied by a written statement
detailing the reasons for reaching the determination.
The determination of undue burden must be based on an evaluation of all resources available for use. If a barrier
removal action is judged unduly burdensome, the City must consider all other options for providing access that will
ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the benefits and services of the program or activity. This process must
be fully documented.

3.1.1 ADA/504 Coordinator (Title I / Title II)
Under the ADA Title II, when a public entity has 50 or more employees based on an entity-wide employee total count,
the entity is required to designate at least one (1) qualified responsible employee to coordinate compliance with ADA
requirements. The name, office address, and telephone number of this individual must be available and advertised to
employees and the public. This allows for someone to assist with questions and concerns regarding disability
discrimination to be easily identified.
ADA/504 Coordinator: Self-Evaluation Findings
The City of Denton has appointed three separate ADA Coordinators, each serving a different area of responsibility for
the City. Below is their contact information.
Deby Skawinski, ADA Coordinator
Human Resources
Scott Gray, ADA Coordinator
City Facilities
Nathan George, AICP, ADA Coordinator
Capital Projects and Engineering
601 E. Hickory St., Suite A, Human Resources
Denton, TX 76205
Office: 940-349-7810
Relay: 1-800-735-2989
Main Line: 940-349-8200
ada@cityofdenton.com
This information is posted on the Americans with Disabilities Act Notice page on the City website (here:
https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/disability).
The City should consider having only a single official ADA coordinator, and have representatives from other City
departments serve as ADA Liaisons. The ADA Liaisons would be responsible for tasks that are specific to their
department, and all information would be funneled through the single ADA Coordinator. This format allows for a
single point of contact when member of the public is seeking the City’s ADA Coordinator to file a grievance or ask a
question. The ADA Coordinator’s information should be prominently displayed in common areas that are accessible
to all employees and areas open to the public. Also, the ADA Coordinator contact information should be included in
materials that are distributed from the City as part of the public notice under the ADA described in Section 4.1.4. This
includes posting this information on the website. More information is available in Chapter 2 of the ADA best practice
toolkit here: https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap2toolkit.htm.
3.1.2 Roles and Responsibilities of the ADA/504 Coordinator
Below is a list of qualifications for ADA Coordinators that are recommended by U.S. Department of Justice:
• Familiarity with the entities structures, activities, and employees;
• Knowledge of the ADA and other laws addressing the rights of people with disabilities, such as Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act;
• Experience with people with a broad range of disabilities;
11
• Knowledge of various alternative formats and alternative technologies that enable individuals with disabilities to
communicate, participate, and perform tasks;
• Ability to work cooperatively with local entities and people with disabilities;
• Familiarity with any local disability advocacy groups or other disability groups;
• Skills and training in negotiation and mediation; and
• Organizational and analytical skills.
3.1.3 ADA Grievance Policy, Procedure, and Form with Appeals Process for the ADA
Title I
Title I of the ADA prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor unions
from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing,
advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. The ADA
covers employers with 15 or more employees based on an entity-wide employee total count, including state and local
governments.
The purpose of the ADA grievance procedure is to provide a mechanism for the resolution of discrimination issues at
the City level, rather than require the complainant to resort to resolution at the federal level.
Title II
Local governments with 50 or more employees are required to adopt and publish procedures for resolving grievances
in a prompt and fair manner that may arise under Title II of the ADA. Neither Title II nor its implementing regulations
describe what ADA grievance procedures must include; however, the U.S. Department of Justice suggests the follow
content:
• A description of how and where a compliant under Title II may be filed with the government entity;
• If a written compliant is required, a statement notifying potential complainants that alternative means of filing will
be available to people with disabilities who require such an alternative;
• A description of the time frames and processes to be followed by the complainant and the government entity;
• Information on how to appeal an adverse decision; and
• A statement of how long compliant files will be retained.
ADA Grievance Policy, Procedure, and Form with Appeals Process for the ADA (Title II): Completed Actions
• The City has established a Title II ADA grievance policy, procedure, and form with an appeals process, that is
available in alternative formats so that it is accessible to all people with disabilities.
• A copy of the Title II Grievance Procedure which includes a link to the City’s online grievance form have been
provided in Appendix B.
3.1.4 Public Notice Under the ADA
The ADA public notice requirement applies to all state and local governments covered by Title II, including entities
with fewer than 50 employees. The target audience for the public notice includes applicants, beneficiaries, and other
people interested in the entity’s programs, services, and activities. This notice is required to include information
regarding Title II of the ADA and how it applies to the programs, services, and activities of the public entity. The
Department of Justice suggests including brief statements about:
12
• Employment;
• Effective communication;
• Making reasonable modifications to policies and programs;
• Not placing surcharges on modifications or auxiliary aids and services; and
• Filing complaints.
Public Notice Under the ADA: Completed Actions
• The City has published an ADA Public Notice, which is available on the Americans with disabilities act notice
page on the City’s website (here: https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/disability).
3.1.5 ADA Liaison Committee
The ADA Liaison Committee is comprised of representatives from each City department. These individuals work
closely with the ADA/504 Coordinator to resolve issues regarding the needs of their department and the programs
under their management. The ADA/504 Coordinator works closely with the ADA Liaison Committee to coordinate the
implementation of plans, programs, policies, and procedures.
ADA Liaison Committee: Completed Actions
The City of Denton has established an ADA Liaison Committee comprised of representatives from the major
departments. These representatives coordinate with the ADA Coordinators to address citizen grievances and ensure
ADA compliance through reviewing designs for future construction and existing infrastructure throughout the City
3.2 Programs, Services, and Activities (PSA) Review
The City of Denton plans to compile a list of all City programs, services, and activities (PSAs) required to be reviewed
for compliance with Title II of the ADA. The City will evaluate current status regarding ADA requirements including
eligibility requirements, participation requirements, facilities used, staff training, tours, transportation, communication,
notifications, public meetings, the use of contracted services, purchasing, maintenance of accessible features, and
emergency procedures.
The inventory and Self-Evaluation of these PSAs will be completed in a future project phase and updates to the City’s
Transition Plan will be made to include findings and possible solutions for identified barriers. Detailed information
related to the status of the City’s programs, services, and activities will be contained in Appendix G.
3.3 Facilities Self-Evaluation Action Plan
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has provided guidance on the ADA Transition Plan process in their
“INFORMATION AND ACTION: ADA Transition Plan Process” memo dated November 17, 2015 (see Appendix C).
While this memo specifically addresses State Departments of Transportation, FHWA also recommends this guidance
for local municipalities until municipality-specific guidance is developed by FHWA. The memo includes a checklist for
elements to be included in an ADA Transition Plan and other ADA requirements that agencies must fulfill.
Items included in the FHWA checklist related to the public rights-of-way are:
• Inventory of Barriers (identification of physical obstacles)
o Identify intersection information, including curb ramps and other associated accessibility elements.
13
o Require an Action Plan to develop an inventory of sidewalks (slopes, obstructions, protruding
objects, changes in level, etc.), signals (including accessible pedestrian signals), bus stops (bus
pads), buildings, parking, rest areas (tourist areas, picnic areas, visitor centers, etc.), mixed use
trails, linkages to transit.
o Discuss jurisdictional issues/responsibilities for sidewalks.
• Schedule
o Show a strong commitment toward upgrading ADA elements identified in the inventory of barriers
in the short-term (planned capital improvement projects).
o Show a strong commitment over time toward prioritizing curb ramps at walkways serving entities
covered by the ADA.
o Schedule should include prioritization information, planning, and investments directed at
eliminating other identified barriers over time.
Dedicate resources to eliminate identified ADA deficiencies.
• Implementation Methods
o Describe the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible and include the governing
standard (e.g., 2010 ADA Standards, 2011 PROWAG).
The City of Denton has evaluated all City-owned and/or maintained facilities for compliance with 2010 ADA
Standards for Accessible Design, the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards, and 2011 Proposed Accessibility
Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG).
3.4 Existing Facility Inventory
The first step in completing a Self-Evaluation Action Plan is understanding what facilities the City is responsible for
maintaining and where each of these facilities is located. The existing facility inventory includes City-owned or
maintained buildings, parks, signalized intersections, and sidewalk corridors. Inventories for signalized intersections,
sidewalk corridors, transit stops, and on-street parking have been developed and are summarized in the following
sections.
3.4.1 Buildings
All City-maintained buildings have been identified and documented in a map and ArcGIS-based geodatabase. The
inventory resulted in documentation of 72 City-maintained buildings that are listed in Table 1 and shown on a map in
Appendix D.
Additionally, all buildings with public access have been evaluated for compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for
Accessible Design and the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards, including parking lots, path of travel from the parking
lot to the building, access into the building, signage, drinking fountains, telephones, bathrooms, and counter heights.
A summary of the building evaluations and the associated detailed project reports are included in Appendix E1.
If a City of Denton employee requests an accommodation to work at an employee-only area in one of the buildings
where all requirements for public access have not been met, the City will evaluate the associated elements at that
property at the time of the request.

3.4.2 Parks
All City-maintained parks have been identified and documented in a map and ArcGIS-based geodatabase. 38 City-
maintained parks are listed in Table 2a and shown on a map in Appendix D. Within the parks, 22 paved trails and
four (4) unpaved trails were identified as part of the facility inventory. These trails are listed in Table 2b and shown
on a map in Appendix D.
16
In addition, all existing parks have been evaluated for compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible
Design and the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards, including parking lots, path of travel from the parking lot to the
park amenities, access into facilities, signage, drinking fountains and restrooms. City-owned or maintained paved
trails, unpaved-trails and pedestrian bridges within these parks have also been evaluated for ADA compliance. A
summary of the park evaluations and the associated detailed project reports are included in Appendix E2.

3.4.3 Signalized Intersections
All City-maintained signalized intersections have been identified and documented in a map and ArcGIS-based
geodatabase. Based on the inventory, the City maintains 125 signalized intersections which are shown on a map in
Appendix D.
Similarly, all City-owned or maintained signalized intersections have been evaluated for compliance with PROWAG.
Signalized intersection evaluations document the conditions and measurements along the pedestrian path of travel,
which includes street crossings, curb ramps, sidewalk adjacent to the curb ramps, and pedestrian signal equipment
and adjacent clear spaces. A summary of the signalized intersection evaluations and the associated detailed project
reports are included in Appendix E3.
3.4.4 Sidewalk Corridors
Using aerial imagery and existing inventory information, an updated GIS-based inventory of City-maintained sidewalk
corridors and cross street locations was developed in October 2020. Based on the inventory, the City of Boca Raton
maintains approximately 374 miles of sidewalk corridors, including pedestrian street and driveway crossings. There
are approximately 7,500 curb ramps that exist at unsignalized cross street intersections and driveways and alleys along
the City-maintained sidewalk corridors. A map of the inventoried sidewalk corridors has been evaluated in Appendix
D.
All City-maintained pedestrian paths of travel have been evaluated for compliance with PROWAG based on the
conditions and measurements along the pedestrian path of travel, which includes the sidewalk, curb ramps, and
pedestrian crossings at driveway openings. At intersections where existing sidewalk does not cross the curb, and curb
ramps are not installed, no evaluations are needed. Locations where curb ramps are missing, but are required, will
also be identified and included in the Transition Plan.
The ADA of 1990, Section 35.150, Existing Facilities, requires that the Transition Plan include a schedule for providing
curb ramps or other sloped areas at existing pedestrian walkways, which applies to all facilities constructed before
1992. For any sidewalk installations constructed from 1992 to March 15, 2012, the curb ramps should have been
installed as part of the sidewalk construction project per the 1991 Standards for Accessible Design, Section 4.7 Curb
Ramp, which states, “curb ramps complying with 4.7 shall be provided wherever an accessible route crosses a curb.”
For sidewalk installations constructed on or after March 15, 2012, similar guidance is provided in the 2010 Standards
19
for Accessible Design, Section 35.151 of 28 CFR Part 35, New Construction and Alterations, which states, “newly
constructed or altered street level pedestrian walkways must contain curb ramps or other sloped areas at any
intersection having curb or other sloped areas at intersections to streets, roads, or highways.”
A summary of the sidewalk corridor and unsignalized intersection curb ramp evaluations and the associated detailed
project reports are included in Appendix E3.
3.4.5 Facility Inventory Summary
Based on the completed inventory for facilities in the public right-of-way, the City has identified the following facilities
for future evaluation:
• 72 buildings;
• 38 parks which include 22 paved trails and 4 unpaved trails;
• 139 signalized intersections; and
• 374 miles of sidewalk and approximately 7,500 curb ramps at unsignalized intersections, driveways, and
alleys along the sidewalk corridors.
3.5 Prioritization
The following sections outline the prioritization factors and results of the prioritization for signalized intersections,
sidewalks, and unsignalized intersections. Each facility type has a different set of parameters to establish the
prioritization for improvements. These prioritization factors were taken into consideration when developing the
implementation plan for the proposed improvements.
3.5.1 Prioritization Factors for Facilities
Signalized intersections were prioritized on a 13-point scale. The 13-point scale, which is used to prioritize signalized
intersections, is defined in Table 3. This prioritization methodology was developed by the Consultant Team to aid the
City in determining which signalized intersections should be prioritized for improvements over other signalized
intersections based on the severity of non-compliance with ADA.
Sidewalk corridors and curb ramps were prioritized on a 3-point scale and were given a priority of either High/Severe,
Medium/Moderate, or Low/Slight based on the severity of non-compliance, which is defined in Table 4. After the
identification of priorities for individual sidewalk segments, a sidewalk condition index is used to represent the overall
condition of the sidewalk corridor based on the frequency and severity of issues. The sidewalk condition index is
broken into subcategories as shown in Table 5.
[The remainder of this page intentionally left blank.]

3.6 Facilities Review
The City’s Self-Evaluation Action Plan outlines a proposed prioritization and schedule for public facilities to be
evaluated for compliance. Based on this plan, the facility reviews were completed in both 2019 and 2021. A listing of
evaluated facilities and summary of the associated Self-Evaluation findings and possible solutions is provided in
Appendices E1-E3. This information will be regularly updated as additional facilities are evaluated in future project
phases.
3.7 Prioritization Summary for Evaluated Public Right-of-Way Facilities
Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8 provide summaries of the prioritization classifications for signalized intersections and
sidewalks, and unsignalized intersections respectively.

3.8 Conclusion
This document serves as the ADA Transition Plan for the City of Denton. In developing the Transition Plan, City
facilities were reviewed for compliance with ADA guidelines and a Self-Evaluation was conducted on the following
facilities:
• 72 buildings;
• 38 parks including 22 paved trails and four (4) unpaved trails;
• 123 signalized intersections; and
• 374 miles of sidewalk and driveways along the sidewalk corridors.
The possible solutions were prioritized, and an implementation plan was developed to provide guidance for the City’s
improvement projects in the coming years. Public outreach was also conducted to aid in the development of the plan.
The City is taking the actions referenced below and will continue to look for and remedy, barriers to access to ensure
that Denton citizens who are disabled are given access to the City's facilities and PSAs.
24
To confirm follow-up on corrective actions required under the Transition Plan, the City will institute an ADA Action
Log, documenting its efforts at compliance with the ADA. At a minimum, the Action Log will identify items that are not
ADA compliant and will include anticipated completion dates. After the adoption of the Transition Plan by the
governing body of the City, the ADA Action Log will be updated on an annual basis. The ADA Action Log should be
available upon request. See the initial ADA Action Log provided in Appendix F.

4.0 Facility Costs
4.1 Facilities Cost Projection Overview
To identify funding sources and develop a reasonable implementation schedule, cost projection summaries for only
the facilities evaluated were developed for each facility type. To develop these summaries, recent bid tabulations
from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) construction projects, along with Consultant Team experience
with similar types of projects, were the basis for the unit prices used to calculate the improvement costs. A
contingency percentage (20%) was added to the subtotal to account for increases in unit prices in the future in
addition to an engineering design percentage (15%). All costs are in 2019 dollars. Table 9 provides a summary of the
estimated costs to bring each facility into compliance.

4.2 Implementation Schedule
Table 10 details the barrier removal costs and proposed implementation schedule by facility type for all City-owned
facilities evaluated. Buildings that were evaluated, but are not owned by the City, are excluded from the
implementation schedule. This 20-year plan will serve as the implementation schedule for the Transition Plan. The
City of Denton reserves the right to change the barrier removal priorities on an ongoing basis to allow flexibility in
accommodating community requests, petitions for reasonable modifications from persons with disabilities, and
changes in City programs.
It is the intent of the City to have its ADA Coordinator work together with department heads and budget staff to
determine the funding sources for barrier removal projects. Once funding is identified, the ADA Coordinator will
coordinate the placement of the projects in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to be addressed on a fiscal year
basis.

4.3 Funding Opportunities
Several alternative funding sources are available to the City to complete the improvements in this Transition Plan. The
funding opportunities include applying for resources at the federal and state level, consideration of local options, and
leveraging private resources. The following sections detail some different funding source options.
4.3.1 Federal and State Funding
Table 11 depicts the various types of federal and state funding available for the City to apply for funding for various
improvements. The following agencies and funding options are represented in the chart.
• BUILD – Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development Transportation Discretionary Grants
• INFRA – Infrastructure for Rebuilding America Discretionary Grant Program
• TIFIA – Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (loans)
• FTA – Federal Transit Administration Capital Funds
• ATI – Associated Transit Improvement (1% set-aside of FTA)
• CMAQ – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program
• HSIP – Highway Safety Improvement Program
• NHPP – National Highway Performance Program
• STBG – Surface Transportation Block Grant Program
• TA – Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (formerly Transportation Alternatives Program)
• RTP – Recreational Trails Program
• SRTS – Safe Routes to School Program / Activities
• PLAN – Statewide Planning and Research (SPR) or Metropolitan Planning funds
• NHTSA 405 – National Priority Safety Programs (Nonmotorized safety)
• FLTTP – Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs (Federal Lands Access Program, Federal
Lands Transportation Program, Tribal Transportation Program, Nationally Significant Federal Lands and
Tribal Projects)
Most of these programs are competitive type grants; therefore, the City of Denton is not guaranteed to receive these
funds. It will be important for the City to track these programs to apply for the funds. Federal-aid funding programs have
specific requirements that projects must meet, and eligibility must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

4.3.2 Local Funding
There are several local funding options for the City to consider, including:
• Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
• Community Improvement District (CID) – A geographically defined district in which commercial property
owners vote to impose a self-tax. Funds are then collected by the taxing authority and given to a board of
directors elected by the property owners.
• General fund (sales tax and bond issue)
• Scheduled/funded CIP projects that are funded through bonds
• Sidewalk or Access Improvement Fee
• Special tax districts – A district with the power to provide some governmental or quasi-governmental service
and to raise revenue by taxation, special assessment, or charges for services.
• Tax Allocation District (TAD) – A defined area where real estate property tax monies gathered above a certain
threshold for a certain period of time (typically 25 years) is to be used for a specified improvement. The funds
raised from a TAD are placed in a tax-free bond (finance) where the money can continue to grow. These
improvements are typically for revitalization and especially to complete redevelopment efforts.
• Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) – A TIF allows cities to create special districts and to make public
improvements within those districts that will generate private-sector development. During the development
period, the tax base is frozen at the predevelopment level. Property taxes continue to be paid, but taxes
derived from increases in assessed values (the tax increment) resulting from new development either go into
a special fund created to retire bonds issued to originate the development, or leverage future growth in the
district.
• Transportation Reinvestment Zone
• Transportation User Fee / Street Maintenance Fee
4.3.3 Private Funding
Private funding may include local and national foundations, endowments, private development, and private individuals.
While obtaining private funding to provide improvements along entire corridors might be difficult, it is important for the
City to require private developers to improve pedestrian facilities to current ADA requirements, whether it by new
development or redevelopment of an existing property.
4.4 Next Steps
The City will begin internal coordination to address the programmatic barriers identified in the Transition Plan.
The City will develop a budget to include the next 20 fiscal years. Projects identified in the ADA Transition Plan will be
programmed within the 20-year budget based prioritization provided (see Section 3.5 Prioritization) and other factors
determined by the City, such as how barrier removal can be incorporated into existing City projects identified for capital
improvements.
The City also intends to adopt 2011 PROWAG to enable City enforcement of these guidelines throughout the design
and construction process of pedestrian facilities in the public rights-of-way.

An online survey and a wiki map was used to gather public input for the
Transition Plan
Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ADA_Denton
Map: https://wikimapping.com/Denton-ADA-Transition-Plan-Update.html
Public Input
Public access survey
Wikimap to comment on physical locations
512/6/21 PRB21-106
•Responses from survey and Wikimap identified:
➢Parks/buildings/trails that are most used
➢Areas of difficult or missing access (e.g. no nearby bus stop)
➢Sidewalk obstruction locations
➢Locations where pedestrian signals are requested/needed
➢Dangerous or difficult crossings
➢Missing curb ramps and/or sidewalks
This input will help guide the prioritization of barrier
removal and facility improvements as the City works to
implement the ADA Transition Plan Update.
Public Input Results
612/6/21 PRB21-106
•The purpose of an ADA grievance procedure is to provide a
mechanism for the resolution of barriers to access and
discrimination between members of the public and the City
of Denton
•The City has developed a grievance procedure, which is
available online (www.cityofdenton.com/disability) and
included in the ADA Transition Plan
➢Grievances can be filed online or in writing/print and mailed
to the City
➢The City will respond to the complaint within 30 days and
propose a resolution or discuss next steps
