DESCRIPTION:Ensuring that public streets and sidewalks are accessible to pe
 ople with disabilities can be a challenge\, especially since accessibility
  guidelines for public rights-of-way have yet to be finalized. This sessio
 n will be devoted to answering the various questions that come up in addre
 ssing access to sidewalks and street crossings\, pedestrian signals\, on-s
 treet parking\, roundabouts\, transit stops and other components of public
  rights-of-way as well as shared use paths. Access Board Accessibility Spe
 cialists will answer questions submitted in advance or during the live web
 inar and offer guidance\, solutions\, and best practices based on guidelin
 es the Access Board proposed for public rights-of-way. Attendees are encou
 raged to submit their questions in advance.\n\nQuestions for presenters:\n
 \n\n	\n	Besides BuyAccessible or VPAT\, is there a checklist (or a series 
 of checklists) that we can use when buy ICT products?\n	\n	\n	Many roadway
  agencies have adopted the practice/requirement of upgrading curb ramps du
 ring repaving (i.e.\, an alteration). Is there a similar requirement for u
 pgrading transit stops to meet ADA requirements when the adjacent street i
 s repaved?\n	\n	\n	I understand that shared use paths are supposed to be l
 imited to 5% maximum running slope where feasible. However\, that is often
  not feasible in areas such as mine that often feature steep topography. C
 an these requirements be changed to the rules currently in force for trail
 s (i.e. 12:1 up to 200'\, etc.)\, or\, alternatively\, what tests does one
  have to meet to prove that the 5% running slope requirement is not feasib
 le in a certain case?\n	\n	\n	What are the guidelines for the ever increas
 ing popularity of Street Cafes ?\n	\n	\n	Who is responsible for upgrades t
 o bus stops? they are a transit facility but found in the public rights of
  way.\n	\n	\n	1. Is it legal for a person in a wheelchair to ride in a mar
 ked bicycle lane on the street? 2. I have been in a wheelchair for 40+ yea
 rs. It is becoming more more difficult to wheel downtown with all the side
 walk cafés. Increasingly sidewalk cafés place their tables and chairs cl
 oser and closer to the curb. This makes it very dangerous to falling over 
 the curb into the street Who do I contact in cases like this? 3. More &amp
 \; more trees are planted on sidewalks enclosed by steel grates. The cente
 r hole for these grates must have a certain radius to allow for growth. I 
 have fallen into a few of these holes\, almost falling out of my chair. Wh
 at are the guidelines for the radius of these grates?\n	\n	\n	When/where a
 re crosswalks required to be striped?\n	\n	\n	Balancing the needs of diver
 se populations of persons with disabilities. How can the deployment of tac
 tile warning surface indicators ensure that pedestrians who are blind rece
 ive adequate warning and are not directed into the centre of intersections
 . And\, how can these techniques mittigate the impact\, real or perceived 
 on persons relying on the use of mobility devices. How much warning is ade
 quate\, are the dimentions of the TWSI adequate? Round abouts: Research\, 
 all be it sparce\, has been done on round about design and accessibility\,
  but has it been validated given the prevelence of these emerging trafic s
 tructures?\n	\n\n\nSession Questions\n\nThis session is accepting question
