Temporary Solutions for Election Day
Sidewalks and Walkways - Voters with Mobility Disabilities
Problem One:
The sidewalk connecting parking to the polling place entrance is too steep to be accessible.
Suggestion: Check to see if there is another sidewalk that provides an accessible route to the accessible entrance. Sometimes there is a less direct route that can serve as the accessible route.
Problem Two:
The accessible route crosses a curb and no curb ramp is provided.
Suggestion: Install a portable ramp with edge protection.
A portable ramp with edge protection is installed over a curb to provide an accessible route.
Problem Three:
One or two steps are part of the walkway leading to the accessible entrance.
Suggestion: Install a portable ramp no steeper than 1:12 slope with edge protection and handrails
