 |  |  | | | Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Ramps 11-12
In 1995, the City completed an ADA transition plan that describes the work required to bring the City into compliance with national ADA requirements. The transition plan states that the City will install ADA-compliant ramps at intersections whenever repairs are made to the adjacent street or sidewalk. Approximately 25 ramps will be built in areas on the City’s top priority list. That list includes both residential and commercial areas, including ramps that are requested by citizens.
This project has commenced.
Funding for this project is provided through Community Development Block Grant and Transportation Grant funds.

2009 Sanitary Sewer Pipeline Replacement Project
A network of pipelines 130 miles in length transports sanitary sewer waste to the treatment plant on Davis Street. Some of the existing pipelines are 50 to 100 years old. As the pipes and manholes age, repair and replacement becomes necessary. This project includes upgrades at five separate locations in the city: View Drive; Sandelin Avenue; Cleveland Street; Kenilworth Avenue; and Beverly Avenue. Trenchless technology methods are used whenever practical, avoiding excavations and thereby minimizing disruption to traffic and landscaping.
The project is underway.
The project is funded with WPCP Enterprise funds.
Estudillo Callan Parking Garage
Work started on November 29, 2010 to demolish the old 1970’s parking garage and replace it with a 4-story structure providing parking for approximately 360 vehicles. The new modern structure will meet current seismic structural standards, will be compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and will be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified. Pedestrian access to the upper levels will be gained via two glass front elevators or three open stairways. Permit parking will be available on the upper floors while the bottom floor will provide short-term parking. The Estudillo Avenue frontage will include an office space for the Chamber of Commerce. Improvements to the courtyard between the structure and East 14th Street, Plaza Del Oro, will include new paving hardscape, a new bus shelter, and landscaping, including a row of palm trees leading to the main pedestrian entrance.
The project is scheduled for completion in Summer 2012.
